Additional information
Nelson Labs provides accelerated aging testing as a method to simulate product and package deterioration over time, based on the Arrhenius equation. This testing is crucial for manufacturers needing to establish expiry dates and comply with FDA requirements without the extensive timelines of real-time aging. While accelerated aging meets regulatory testing requirements, it does not replace real-time aging. Test temperatures should not exceed 60°C, with 55°C being a commonly recommended temperature by Nelson Labs. They also offer services for sample submission, customer portal access, and advisory services for regulatory and quality matters.
