Pharmaceutical Stress Testing

Stress testing is the main tool that is used to predict stability problems,

Since there are no detailed regulatory guidelines that direct how stress testing
is to be done, nor has there ever been a text/reference book on the
subject, stress testing has evolved into an artful science that is highly dependent
on the experience of the company or the individuals directing the studies. This
book provides readers with a single source reference that benchmarks the
current best practices of experienced pharmaceutical scientists/researchers.
Questions like ‘‘How hot, how long, what conditions are appropriate?’’ and

chemistry of drug degradation are addressed in an objective, detailed scientific

Compiling a book to be used as a scientific reference for the topic of

which will, hopefully, stimulate new ideas and further development of the
science.
This undertaking is done with some trepidation, since I realize that discussion
of this topic could lead to attempts to formalize or standardize (i.e.,
regulatory standardization) an area of pharmaceutical science that relies on

and develop new ways to predict and measure stability-related issues

library of many pharmaceutical scientists. I am confident that the ‘‘artful

as other scientists further the science and fill in topics that are poorly covered
or missing.

呜呜呜呜  ，英语烂的我只有哭了哈

楼主高大上。刚看前俩词我以为是个测试，读完发现是本书，貌似还不粗的书，我理解的对吗？

看了我头好大

顶一下 只是英文不太好
