YR 1986 UL http://journal.pda.org/content/40/4/164.abstract AB The application of linear-up (temperature increasing), logarithmic-up (temperature increasing), or logarithmic-down (temperature decreasing) nonisothermal temperature programs to the assessment of the stability parameters of a parenteral solution is discussed. The reproducibility and accuracy of this technique are demonstrated, using the first-order degradation of riboflavin as a model. The advantages and disadvantages of these temperature programs are compared, especially in relation to Preformulation and Formulation experimental needs. A flexible nonisothermal instrument capable of running these, or any other complex temperature program, is described.
