Naomi Dunning-Foreman explains why stability testing is an essential step on the path to drug development

A vacuum sealer, when used diligently, will extend the shelf life of every type of food imaginable. That means your garbage disposal and trash can will cease to be the best-fed members of your household.

The instructions say to scuff up shiny surfaces, such as metal or some plastics, then mist one surface with water, apply glue to the other surface, and clamp them securely for at least one to two hours while the glue cures. (With dense hardwoods, the instructions say to mist both surfaces first.) Embedded in those simple instructions are some non-obvious technical issues that make polyurethane glue different from white or yellow glues, which are classified as polyvinyl acetates, or PVA glues. PVA glues, which include the white glue used in classrooms and waterproof formulas such as Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue, cure by dehydration.

To take factors like temperature and humidity into account, the ICH varies the testing conditions it recommends.

To find out what kind of packaging a new drug requires, it is important for pharmaceutical manufacturers to work with a partner, who knows all the technical and regulatory aspects of the process, who has established a good project management to quickly and efficiently carry out the packaging development, and who is able to produce large numbers while maintaining consistently high quality. Whether the result is a drop-in, an integrated or a completely individual desiccant packaging solution, it needs to be integrated smoothly into existing processes of the pharmaceutical manufacturer. 

We also love our rear storage boxes. An open box (also from Aluminess) can hold jerry cans or firewood, and we like the closed boxes for storing camp chairs, tie-down straps, and snow chains. All of these rather bulky items would be challenging to fit inside the camper.
