Accelerated Aging Testing Services

The Accelerated Aging Testing utilizes high temperatures for a period of time to simulate the effects of real-time aging, artificially accelerating the aging process. This test allows manufacturers to bring products to market faster and provides data that enable manufacturers to accurately predict the effects of real-time aging on packaging and demonstrate that the packaging will provide a sterile barrier for the specified shelf life of the product. In addition, manufacturers must subsequently conduct real-time studies to validate the data generated during the accelerated aging process.

With expertise in consulting, package validation (including packaging and sterilization configurations), material qualification and package development, as well as state-of-the-art environmental stability chambers, STEMart provides a full-service experience to help manufacturers achieve regulatory goals and minimize compliance risks. Based on the characteristics of the material under study, its expert team can develop a comprehensive accelerated aging protocol, including sample size, test conditions (room temperature and accelerated aging temperature), test intervals, and post-aging inspection parameters to evaluate package performance.
