Dispersions and formulations are combinations of phases that do not mix well and tend to split. Preventing the phases from separating is important to maintain the performance and the appearance of the product over long periods.
The main method to establish Shelf-Life is to use visual observation, sometimes with high-temperature storage to speed up the destabilization process. However, this method is slow, costly, and labor-intensive (storing in a separate incubator for several months). Moreover, it relies on visual observation, which can be low-sensitivity and cause human error and reproducibility issues.
What if we could use an instrument to predict Shelf-life?
What if we could just use a simulator to estimate Shelf-life?
