Lifetime shelf

The number of samples of reference material needed is a commercial issue in the first place. An important variable is the number of samples likely to be sold during the lifetime ( shelf life ) of the reference material. As the lifetime is a function of the intrinsic stability of the material, this variable also affects the amount of raw material is needed. For instance, microbiological materials have limited intrinsic stability, and therefore their lifetime is expected to be shorter than for a dry sediment certified for trace elements. So, under the assumption of an equal number of sam-... 

Other fractional lives could similarly be defined. For example, the life-time t is the time required for the concentration to decay to lie its initial value then we find T = l/k. The lifetime is the average time elapsed before a molecule reacts. In pharmaceutics, a shelf-life tgo is defined to be the time required for Ca to reach the value 0.90 Ca, giving tgo = O.lOSlkf)... 

The half-time (or half-life) of the reaction is independent of [A]o. The reciprocal of the rate constant, t = l/k, is referred to as the lifetime or the mean reaction time. In that time [A] falls to l/e of its initial value. The pharmaceutical industry refers to the shelf life or t90, the time at which [A]/[A]o reaches 0.90. Both t and t90 are also independent of [A]o.

Concern for the physical and chemical integrity of topical systems is no different than for other dosage forms. However, there are some unique and germane dimensions to stability associated with semisolid systems. A short list of some of the factors to be evaluated for semisolids is given in Table 12. All factors must be acceptable initially (within prescribed specifications), and all must remain so over the stated lifetime for the product (the product s shelf life).

The useable lifetime of a reference material depends on both its inherent stability and also on its rate of use. It will thus be necessary to establish a timetable for the preparation of further batches of the material so as to ensure that supplies are always available. These subsequent batches (particularly if they are matrix-based) will need to be treated almost like a new material, i.e., they should be tested for stability, and a complete new certification will be needed for each replacement batch. This involves substantial work each time it is done, hence it is desirable to make as large a batch as practical, consistent with the probable shelf-life and expected usage. 

Slow release rates and remarkable long shelf-life (months) were obtained compared to typical multiple emulsions stabilized by two short surfactants (SMO and polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate). Finally, the long lifetime of the emulsions allowed study via diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS) of the interactions between the droplets and the globule surface [37],...

Despite the large amount of research done on these devices and the relatively detailed understanding of their operation, they have not yet found widespread use. There are several reasons. The main one seems to be the insufficient lifetime (both shelf and in-use ), due to the degradation of the ex vivo enzyme preparations. Particularly when they are used in real samples, various reversible and irreversible inhibitors limit their usable lifetime. This problem seems to be mitigated when the enzymes are used in their natural environment, in cell cultures, tissue slices, and even in whole organs (Arnold, 1986). 

Abstract Since the uncertainty of each link in the traceability chain (measuring analytical instrument, reference material or other measurement standard) changes over the course of time, the chain lifetime is limited. The lifetime in chemical analysis is dependent on the calibration intervals of the measuring equipment and the shelf-life of the certified reference materials (CRMs) used for the calibration of the equipment. It is shown that the ordinary least squares technique, used for treatment of the calibration data, is correct only when uncertainties in the certified values of the measurement standards or CRMs are negligible. If these uncertainties increase (for example, close to the end of the calibration interval or shelf-life), they are able to influence significant-... 

Thermal stability is an issue for ADN as an ingredient in military composites. The shelf life and the temperature at which it can be used depend on how well the low temperature degradation can be controlled. As described above, ADN is not as stable as, for example, nitramines or TNT. In these latter cases, the shelf life for the weapons systems does not really depend on the high explosives their shelf lives are greater than the tactical lifetime of the ordnance system. ADN more resembles nitrocellulose, which degrades slowly at low temperatures in an autocatalytic process. The degradation is therefore accelerating. One solution is to use a stabilizer... 

Display lifetime is a crucial aspect of market acceptance. Shelf and operational lifetime are general measures of the lifetime of displays For Tollable displays the bending lifetime is an another consideration. The current operational lifetime is 168 h when operating the display at a 10% duty cycle (every 10 s the display is addressed for 1 s) at room temperature. The operational lifetime test must be performed with a duty cycle, because the display is multi-stable. The current shelf lifetime at room temperature is 6 months. Bending lifetime is excellent - the display has been rolled to a radius of 7.5 mm more than 10000 times without any degradation. 

As in most LPO processes, the active species HRh(CO)(TPPTS)3 and the excess TPPTS are subject to slow decomposition which determines the lifetime of the catalyst charge [38a]. Repeated addition of fresh ligand at short time intervals extends the catalyst shelf life and stabilizes the desired P/Rh ratio [215] over the time of operation. The P/Rh ratio is kept above 50 1 to ensure an n/i ratio of at least 95 5 (Figure 16). The RCH/RP process faces more than a decade of success-...
