ASAP testing can significantly reduce the time and resources required for stability testing. However, because this approach requires more extreme environmental conditions, ASAP reach-in chambers must meet exacting standards. Our chambers are engineered to deliver stringent volumetric uniformity and designed for compliance with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Q1A.
Environmental Specialties has provided ASAP reach-ins to leading pharmaceutical companies, food and beverage producers, cosmetics brands, medical device manufacturers, and others. Their chambers are suitable for a wide range of applications including:
- Extended range testing
- Packaging studies
- Freeze/thaw thermal cycling
- Biomedical storage
- Stability research
- Drug research
