Shelf-Life Studies
Test the stability of your products at an accelerated rate. Shelf-life analysis reveals the expiration date of your products. We offer simulated 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24-month testing schedules. Each simulated three months takes ten days to complete. The cost of testing covers the required potency and microbial testing necessary for the shelf-life test.
