Overview:

Bracketing and matrixing are important tools used in the pharmaceutical industry to streamline not only stability testing but is very useful in ANDA submissions and validations.

Stability testing is crucial to ensure that drug products maintain their quality, purity, and potency throughout their shelf life. However, testing every single batch of every product under all possible conditions can be time-consuming and expensive. That's where bracketing and matrixing come in.

This session will discuss in detail with scope in stability testing. Additionally, will discuss other aspects where this tool can be used.

Bracketing and matrixing are valuable tools that can help pharmaceutical companies to conduct stability testing, ANDA submissions and validations more efficiently and cost-effectively.

When used appropriately, these strategies can help to ensure the quality and safety of drug products while also saving time and resources.

Of course, the whole learning will be in line with the different current guidelines.
