Stability testing development

Vacuum stability. Gas evolution was 1.92 mg/g/40 hours (material recrystd twice from et chloride iso-Pr ale 9 1) 0.89-0.98ml/g/40 hours (sample dried at 40c in vacuum) (Ref 11, p 30). Another stability test, developed by W.C. 

Stability tests developed for petrodiesel fuels reportedly are not suitable for biodiesel or biodiesel blends with petrodiesel (Canakci et al., 1999 Stavinoha Howell, 1999 Westbrook Stavinoha, 2003), however, appropriate modification may render them useful. Another study (Bondioli et al., 2003) states that the petrodiesel method ASTM D4625 (Standard Test Method for Distillate Fuel Storage Stability at 43°C (110°F) is suitable but not fast.

Mittasch Stability Test for Nitrocellulose. A test based on the measurement of press developed on decompn of NC. The app may be considered a very complicated modification of devices originated by Abel (Ref 4, p 241) and Hess (Refs 1 4). Abel heated NC samples in vac and detd the press increase. Hess believed that on heating NC in a closed vessel contg air, connected to a Hg manometer, it would be possible to achieve conditions more closely resembling those in storage in closed magazines. Neither of these methods found any practical application...

Figures 1 to 8 demonstrate the drainage or meltdown test developed in our laboratories 17). Ice pop I contains no stabilizer II, 0.2% Irish moss extract III, 0.15% karaya gum combined with 0.15% locust bean gum IV, 0.2% CMC. The mixes were prepared cold, poured into the same mold, using one fourth of the mold for each mix. They were then frozen in the brine tank, defrosted, packed, and stored in the hardening box.

Isolation of the products from complex matrixes (e.g. polymer and water, air, or soil) is often a demanding task. In the process of stability testing (10 days at 40 °C, 1 h at reflux temperature) of selected plastic additives (DEHA, DEHP and Irganox 1076) in EU aqueous simulants, the additive samples after exposure were simply extracted from the aqueous simulants with hexane [63]. A sonication step was necessary to ensure maximum extraction of control samples. Albertsson et al. developed several sample preparation techniques using headspace-GC-MS [64], LLE [65] and SPE [66-68]. A practical guide to LLE is available [3]. 

There are three documents that give guidance on the design and conduct of in-use stability tests the EMEA/CVMP/127/95 final (adopted March 1996), CPMP/QWP/2570/98 (a concept paper adopted in November 1998) and CPMP/QWP/2934/99 draft (released for comment in December 1999). The studies undertaken may be discussed in the development pharmaceutics or the stability section of the dossier.

Dartnell, R. C. et al., Loss Prev., 1971, 5, 53-56 MCA Case History No. 1649 A batch of 8 t of material accumulated in storage at 154°C during 72 h decomposed explosively. Stability tests showed that thermal instability developed when 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol is stored molten at temperatures above 140°C. Decomposition set in after 14 h at 185° or 45 h at 165°, with peak temperatures of 593 and 521°C, respectively. In a closed vessel, a peak pressure of 750 bar was attained, with a maximum rate of increase of 40 kbar/s. Thermal degradation involves an initially slow exothermic free radical polymerisation process, followed by a rapid and violently exothermic decomposition at take-off.

It should be emphasized that the results from RSST experiments use simplified calculation methods and give estimated values for stability and vent sizing. For large scale purposes, more dedicated and accurate measuring techniques may be needed for further hazard evaluation determinations. Due to the relatively recent development of this apparatus, comparison with other stability test methods is not yet comprehensive. 

In summary, TLC analysis plays a critical role in the drug development process. Many instruments are available, and the technique is used for both quantitative and qualitative testing. i f determination, identity testing, and stability testing are just a few ways to utilize TLC. 

Those stages after the preclinical discovery and evaluation that involve technical development. These processes include formulation work, stability testing, scaling-up the compound for larger-scale synthesis, and providing analytical support. Clinical trials are not included in this definition. 

A number of thermal stability tests arc available, some of which have developed into national (DIN) or international industrial standards (ISO). Pigments in thermoplastic systems, for instance, are studied under heat extrusion conditions [110]. The colorant to be tested, possibly together with titanium dioxide, is dispersed in the thermoplastic, using a mixer and a granulating extruder (Sec. 1.8.3). The pigmented test pellets are then fed into a screw extruder which ejects a standardized test specimen with defined dimensions [111]. Starting at the lowest possible temperature level, the extrusion temperature is increased by intervals of 10 or 20°C between samples.

Development and testing of these specialized sorbents is usually a lengthy process. The reaction must first be shown to proceed on the sorbent, in addition to recovery, capacity, and storage stability tests. The procedure for preparation of the sorbent must be shown to be consistent with several batches of prepared sorbent.
