Stability studies long-term testing

The objective of the present study is to develop a cross-flow filtration module operated under low transmembrane pressure drop that can result in high permeate flux, and also to demonstrate the efficient use of such a module to continuously separate wax from ultrafine iron catalyst particles from simulated FTS catalyst/ wax slurry products from an SBCR pilot plant unit. An important goal of this research was to monitor and record cross-flow flux measurements over a longterm time-on-stream (TOS) period (500+ h). Two types (active and passive) of permeate flux maintenance procedures were developed and tested during this study. Depending on the efficiency of different flux maintenance or filter media cleaning procedures employed over the long-term test to stabilize the flux over time, the most efficient procedure can be selected for further development and cost optimization. The effect of mono-olefins and aliphatic alcohols on permeate flux and on the efficiency of the filter membrane for catalyst/wax separation was also studied. 

Long-term testing Stability studies under the recommended storage condition for the retest period or shelf life proposed (or approved) are performed with several drug substance batches in the stipulate packaging. In the general case, the storage condition is at a temperature of 25°C and 60% relative humidity. 

Long-term Tests of Operating Display Panels. Life tests were being carried out at room temperature and at 80 °C to study the long-term stability of unshielded devices in contact with GH LC. The devices have been tested for over 1 year without visible degradation. 

The stability studies on the active substances and packaged dosage forms are conducted by real time. Long-term tests at specific temperatures and humidity representing storage conditions experienced in the distribution chain of the climatic zone(s) of the country or region of the world concerned.

The CAER SBCR plant was overhauled and redesigned to incorporate automatic slurry level control and wax filtration systems. These design changes will allow a more constant inventory of the catalyst to be maintained in the reactor while reducing slurry hold-up in the catalyst/wax separation system. In addition, the wax filtration system was rearranged to accept a variety of filter elements. These additions were meant to enhance the stability of the reactor operation so that long-term tests can be conducted to study catalyst deactivation and attrition under real-world conditions. 

Research on the SCILL concept is still at the beginning, and more studies are needed for a better understanding, and for the practical use of the concept. The directions for future research are the investigation of other (parallel and consecutive) reactions including oxidations. Long-term tests on the thermal stability and the mass loss by evaporation of the IL layer (in case of gas-phase reactions) are also needed, and finally the catalyst-IL interactions and the influence of the IL loading on the internal surface, pore diameter, and layer thickness should be analyzed in further detail. 

Some of the [Au(N,0)Cl2] derivatives, namely 58a, 59a and 59b, which have been tested for cytotoxic activity against various human tumor cell lines, have shown significant effects [144]. Compound 57 is a potential alternative to dimethylgold (III) P diketonates and can be used as a starting material for gold coatings by the CVD method [140]. Recent studies have shown that the long-term stability of these... 

Prior to study initiation, stability of the test chemical in the diet must be determined over a test period at least equivalent to the time period during which animals are to be exposed to a specific diet mix. Stability of test samples under the conditions of the proposed study is preferable. Labor and expense can be saved when long-term stability data permit mixing of several weeks (or a month) of test diet in a single mixing interval.
