pH Testing – Ensuring Product Stability, Safety, and Compliance
Overview:
pH Testing is a critical quality control measure that determines the acidity or alkalinity of pharmaceutical products, including solutions, suspensions, creams, and gels. Accurate pH values help ensure chemical stability, patient safety, and regulatory compliance.
Test Description:
Prepared samples are measured using a calibrated pH meter, with test conditions depending on the specific dosage form. The pH value provides insight into product formulation integrity and compatibility with biological systems.
Purpose & Benefits:
- Verify formulation stability and detect potential degradation
- Ensure patient comfort and safety (e.g., ophthalmic, parenteral, and topical products)
- Meet regulatory requirements for batch release and shelf-life studies
- Support product development, bioavailability optimization, and compatibility assessments
