Accelerated aging studies by Microtest Laboratories, Agawam, MA, aid medical device manufacturers in predicting what will occur to the packaging or product during normal storage conditions. Studies are used to set preliminary shelf-life dates, the period during which the product remains stable for its intended use.

 Available studies:
• Standard chamber temperature studies (-70C, -20C, 25C 60% RH), (30C 65%RH), (35C 75% RH), (40C 75%RH), (50C 10-50% RH),( 55C 10-50%RH), (60C 10-50%RH)
• Post-stability/aging testing 
• Custom studies 

Backup storage is guaranteed. All chambers have back-up power and are monitored by a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) 24-hour temperature monitoring system that alerts Microtest personnel to out of tolerance conditions. Customers and regulators can be sure humidity and temperature remain within prescribed ranges,” says Microtest Laboratories President and Founder Steven Richter.
