BlazeStability

BlazeStability is a stability LIMS management software solution from Blaze Systems designed to help laboratories in the food and pharmaceutical industries manage the full lifecycle of shelf life studies. Regulatory requirements in these sectors demand rigorous demonstration of product shelf life, often involving complex, data-intensive studies that track production lots or development batches across varying storage conditions, packaging types, and time periods spanning months or even years. BlazeStability organizes, executes, tracks, and manages all aspects of these studies to save labor and testing costs, reduce errors, and enable more comprehensive coverage of products and lots.

The platform provides a consistent, clearly structured environment for managing every element of a stability program, from individual study setup through to results analysis. It is suitable for laboratories seeking to streamline tedious manual processes and minimize the risk of inadvertent errors that could jeopardize months of testing work.

Core Study Management Capabilities

• Creation and management of studies for each lot or batch being monitored
• Protocol management covering variations in storage conditions, packaging, and storage orientation
• Storage location management and tracking throughout the study lifecycle
• Draw and testing schedule management
• Results capture and statistical analysis

Key Features

• Barcode labeling of storage containers, samples, and storage locations for positive identification at every stage
• Sampling and testing driven calculations of storage requirements, with allowances for re-tests and retains
• Draw schedules with configurable rules and slack to avoid weekends, holidays, and high-workload periods
• Autologging of samples for testing draws to reduce manual data entry
• Automated notifications for approaching draws to keep studies on track
• Comprehensive reports covering all aspects of studies for fast review and results summaries

Highlights and Differentiators

• Study templates for rapid creation of new studies, reducing setup time
• Continuous calculations of current and required inventory to minimize costly stored product and deliver labor and cost savings
• Draw schedules with sparsely populated testing intervals to avoid unnecessary laboratory costs
• Highly flexible containerization to accommodate various packaging and storage protocols
• Early warning of off-track results, enabling refinement, salvaging, or timely abandonment of studies before unproductive testing continues
• Flexible on-the-fly modifications to existing protocols and schedules, supported by labor-saving copy features

BlazeStability integrates natively with other Blaze Systems products including BlazeInventory, BlazeLIMS, BlazeStatistics, and BlazeLink, and is also available as a stand-alone application. The platform is offered as part of the BlazeLIMS suite with no up-front cost.
