Forced Degradation Strategies 2010

Effective forced degradation strategies assessing the stability in early phase of drug development is vital for the long term success of any drug. Analytical techniques are very sensitive to support very low levels of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ). In recent years, analytical technologies have advanced so much that the detection of impurities at very low levels has become significantly less complex, though it still poses numerous challenges.
