Introduction to
Forced Degradation Studies
At ARSI Canada Inc., we offer comprehensive forced degradation studies designed to
assess the stability and degradation pathways of drug substances and products.
Forced degradation studies involve subjecting samples to stress conditions such as heat,
light, humidity, and acidic or alkaline pH to accelerate degradation
processes and identify potential degradation products.
Importance of Forced Degradation Studies
Forced degradation studies play a critical role in pharmaceutical development and regulatory submissions:
Provides crucial data on the stability of drug substances and products under various stress conditions, guiding formulation development and shelf-life determination.
Helps identify degradation pathways and potential degradation products, enabling the development of robust formulations and manufacturing processes.
Supports regulatory submissions by demonstrating product stability, ensuring compliance with regulatory guidelines (e.g., ICH Q1A), and justifying proposed storage conditions and shelf-life specifications.
Facilitates risk assessment by identifying potential degradation-related risks and enabling the implementation of appropriate mitigation strategies.

Forced Degradation Studies Services
We conduct degradation studies to understand the stability of drug substances and products, identifying potential degradation products and their impact
We conduct stress testing studies to evaluate the stability of drug substances and products under various stress conditions, including:
- Temperature: Exposing samples to elevated temperatures to accelerate degradation reactions
- Light: Subjecting samples to light exposure to assess photostability and photo-degradation.
- pH: Testing samples under acidic or alkaline conditions to evaluate pH-dependent stability.
- Oxidation: Assessing the susceptibility of samples to oxidation reactions by exposing them to oxidizing agents.
We identify and characterize degradation products using advanced analytical techniques, including:
- Chromatography: Utilizing HPLC, UPLC, and GC for separation and quantification of degradation products.
- Mass Spectrometry: Employing LC-MS/MS and GC-MS for accurate identification and structural elucidation of degradation products.
- Spectroscopy: Using FTIR, UV-Vis, and NMR spectroscopy for additional structural information and confirmation of degradation product identities.
