Stability Study Management Software(softLIMS)
Pharma Soft Sol is a leading provider of GxP-compliant software solutions for the pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences industries. With a strong focus on regulatory compliance, digital transformation, and data integrity, Pharma Soft Sol offers a comprehensive suite of applications including QMS, LIMS, DMS, LMS, and EBMR, all developed on a robust Java-based platform.
Our flagship softLIMS solution is designed to streamline laboratory operations while ensuring full compliance with GMP, GLP, 21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11, and WHO guidelines. One of the key modules of softLIMS is the Stability Study Management System, developed to manage the end-to-end stability testing process efficiently and compliantly.
Introduction to Stability Study Management
Overview
The Stability Study Management Software is an integrated module within the softLIMS suite that manages the complete lifecycle of stability studies for drug products and drug substances, from study design to result evaluation and report generation.
Pharmaceutical companies are required by global regulatory agencies (such as USFDA, EMA, MHRA, and WHO) to establish the stability of their products to ensure quality, safety, and efficacy throughout the product’s shelf life. The software simplifies this complex process by providing an automated, compliant, and traceable system for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and documenting stability studies.
Scope
The module supports:
-
Drug Product and Drug Substance stability studies (accelerated, long-term, intermediate)
-
ICH-compliant study design and execution
-
Chamber and condition monitoring integration
-
Automated scheduling of pull points and sample testing
-
Result entry, review, and trending
-
Final stability reports and shelf-life determination
By digitizing and integrating every step, the Stability Study Management Software helps laboratories eliminate manual errors, reduce administrative workload, and ensure data integrity.
