In any standard refrigerated chamber, the average humidity will read between 90 – 100% relative humidity (RH). When RH can rise to 90 – 100% in a cold chamber, the formation of condensation is pretty much inevitable so how can you take control of cold chamber humidity?
Pharmaceutical manufacturers must establish the stability of their drug products towards light. But what makes a drug molecule or formulation unstable to light, and how can appropriate protection be given? Find out in this guest post from Dr. Mark Powell on photostability testing.

How do you set a retest period for a drug substance or shelf life for a drug product? How can extrapolation be applied to propose a retest period or shelf life for a drug product that extends beyond the period covered by real-time stability data? In this article, we outline how we can assist you with … Continued
Recognising that the Pfizer BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine will need to be stored at subzero temperatures along with distribution challenges in rolling it out across Ireland, Q1 Scientific already stores and distributes medical drugs at this level and are ready to provide their services to store and distribute the anticipated COVID19 vaccine.
Do you need vaccine storage facilities at ultra-low freezer temperatures? Having reliable ultra-low freezer storage is essential for vaccines and temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products.
