Stability studies
The Quasaar Stability Centre offers flexible and large-volume storage facilities, which also allow the storage of voluminous packaging units (pallets) up to bulk goods.
In addition to conducting ICH studies, it is also possible to place ageing studies, e.g. of medical devices. In this context, leakage and permation studies of packaging materials can also be carried out. 1000 m³ of ICH-climate are already available.
Cold and frozen storage (5 °C/-20 °C) and special conditions can be implemented on request. In terms of location, expansion options from 50 to 500 m³ can be implemented at short notice (lead time approx. 8-12 weeks).
The air conditioning systems are state-of-the-art and qualified in accordance with GMP and DIN-ISO requirements, as well as equipped with failure protection. The air conditioning units are redundant. The emergency concept includes access to an external generator. In the medium term, this will be replaced by a combination of photovaltics/battery storage.
By using an RFID-coupled control unit, in the medium term it will be possible to implement an enormous optimisation of quality and efficiency.
