SOS (Science of Stability) Annual Conference, October 3-5, 2017, Dublin, Ireland. Shelf-life is a critical factor in developing and commercialising pharmaceuticals, generics, nutraceuticals, OTCs and consumer products. Since the stability of products affects their safety and efficacy, it is crucial to understand how such factors as time, temperature, humidity, oxygen and light impact their shelf-life and what tools can be applied to mitigate any issues. At SOS, it’s all about the science!
