Thermal Cycling

Are you worried about how your product will withstand challenging conditions during shipment? By recreating these adverse environments, we provide valuable insights into your product’s resilience. Our thermal cycling (freeze-thaw) studies ensure your product remains stable and effective from storage to shipment and beyond.

Designed to meet ICH Q1A (R2) guidelines, our thermal cycling studies cover storage, shipment, and subsequent use, giving you confidence in your product’s integrity throughout its journey.

Trust Q1 Scientific’s thermal cycling services to ensure your product withstands transportation challenges.

Thermal Cycling Q1 Scientific

Ensuring product stability under different conditions can be challenging. At Q1 Scientific, we alleviate this burden with our thermal cycling process. We collaborate with you to rigorously test your products, ensuring they are ready to meet the demands of any journey and reducing the risk of failure and non-compliance.

Here’s an example of a Thermal Cycling process at Q1 Scientific:

  • Initial Storage: Samples are stored at the recommended 20°C to 25°C.
  • Extreme Cold: Samples are placed at -20°C for 48 hours.
  • High Heat and Humidity: Samples are then moved to 40°C with 75% relative humidity for another 48 hours.
  • Repetition: This cycle is repeated three times to thoroughly test the product’s resilience.

We understand that each product has unique requirements. That’s why we customise our thermal cycling studies to meet your specific needs, ensuring your products are tested under conditions that reflect their real-world use.
