Ensure your products maintain desired quality characteristics & safety attributes over time.
Choose any length of study. Many products aim for 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, or 24 months. Studies are carried out over the anticipated shelf-life duration and beyond.
Controlled environment chamber testing at:
Long-Term (Real-Time) (25°C / 60% RH)
Intermediate (30°C / 75% RH)
Accelerated (40°C / 75% RH)
Customize testing intervals to fit your needs. At specified times, products are removed from chambers and tested according to your test panel. For example, a 1 year shelf life may include intervals at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
Select from a library of safety and quality tests to create a tailored panel for each unique product. Recommendations can be provided based on product specific needs.
Define potential outcomes from the start, and indicate if/when a study should be terminated. Examples of modes of failure include: Results outside of product specifications, changes in quality attributes, and negative sensory characteristics.
A dedicated stability coordinator will discuss project goals, help design the study, recommend industry-specific tests, coordinate sample intake, monitor study progress and facilitate reporting.
Customizable stability projects allow for a flexible billing approach where costs are applied incrementally during the study. Payments stop when the study stops, upon completion or an early failure.
Cambium provides personalized guidance to determine the required number of units or packages for efficient testing. Submitting products in near-final packaging accurately simulates shelf conditions.
Reporting is tailored to your brand, easy-to-read and encompass all pertinent information to the stability study. Deliverables are meticulously organized and centralized for your audit needs.
Understand your products appeal with a trained sensory panel. Cambium’s PhD sensory experts design tests to assess perceptible differences in appearance, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel.
Test a new prototype to see if the product shows signs of ingredient degradation. Controlled environment chambers are used to conduct short-term experiments which look for changes in levels of active ingredients.
Controlled environment chambers allow comparison of multiple similar formulations to determine compatibility. Substitute more cost-effective ingredients, switch ingredient suppliers, or introduce new flavors.
Evaluate how different packaging materials affect the stability of your product. Package compatibility testing can help you select the best options to preserve the product's quality and extend its shelf life.
