Automated stability testing with the Alpha MOS electronic sensing instruments provides important data on the effect of a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light conditions over a time period on product formulations or ingredients.






T
he Alpha MOS ASTREE Electronic Tongue is an effective tool to study the stability of ingredients used in the formulation of active drugs and the delivery system. The data provided by ASTREE can also help to select the packaging type and to determine the effect of storage conditions. ASTREE is a fast and simple to use system providing easily validated and reliable results. The number of formulations and alternatives can be increased to insure proper decisions without “stressing” the laboratory and sensory panels.






W
ith the Alpha MOS electronic nose solutions, stability laboratories in the pharmaceutical industry can quickly and with confidence identify the ingredients, which perform best and provide the stability needed to insure good shelf life. The speed of the analysis makes it possible to test a larger variety of candidates under a broader range of experimental conditions, to have the data to make the right choices and get the formulation right the first time.
