PACKAGING
Performance testing of your product packaging is essential for the delivery of a safe and effective product. Our team provides a wide range of services evaluating the strength, integrity, materials, and labels of your packaging to ensure it satisfies key requirements.
STABILITY & STORAGE
Stability studies and shelf-life testing safeguards your products’ performance and regulatory compliance. We support studies for both short-term (accelerated) and long-term stability programs as well as photostability programs for both research and development and commercial products.
DISTRIBUTION
Distribution simulation testing provides a uniform and repeatable way of evaluating packaged products and packaging designs by utilizing standardized equipment and procedures to subject the packaging to anticipated hazards that may occur with routine distribution of packaged products.
Developing a Hydrogel Microneedle Array Patch
Microneedles, or micro array patches (MAPs), are an evolving technology that is set to change the way we think about transdermal drug delivery systems. MAPs provide a method to bypass the stratum corneum barrier, creating new opportunities for a large variety of compounds to be delivered through the skin.
Hydrogels are a subcategory of MAPs that can be custom tailored to fit the needs of various delivery strategies, particularly those that require extended or controlled release. Careful planning needs to go into designing a hydrogel MAP, and seemingly trivial aspects should not be underestimated. Learn more about these innovative dosage forms and delivery technologies in our whitepaper.
