Biologics vs. Small Molecules, What’s the Difference for Stability Testing? (Part 1 in a 3-Part Series)
There are similarities for stability testing of biologics vs. small molecules, but there are also significant differences. In this first of a three-part blog post, I’ll breakdown what is faced in stability testing of these two product types and how each are handled. The second post will focus on the difference in analytical testing and the final post will be on degradation. Hopefully you find this useful!

5 Considerations When Choosing an Analytical Testing Lab
We recently exhibited at the PDA Southern California Chapter: GXP Expo & Technical Symposium in Tustin, CA on February 7. The show’s theme was Outsourcing Challenges and Strategies for Success and judging from the turnout, it was something many businesses were interested in. This theme had me thinking about what considerations are most important when ... 5 Considerations When Choosing an Analytical Testing Lab
