Drug Stability Test
The effectiveness and safety of drugs have attracted much attention, and it is also a livelihood issue that the country and the government attach great importance to. The stability of drugs will affect the efficacy and safety. In order to ensure the quality of drugs and storage containers, stability tests should be performed to determine their effective time and storage state. Stability test mainly studies whether the quality of drugs is affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light, and whether it changes with time and the correlation between them, and studies the degradation curve of drugs, according to which the effective period is presumed to ensure the effectiveness and safety of drugs when used. This article collects the standard information and test methods required for various stability tests for customers' reference.

Temperature and Humidity Terms
Dew Point temperature Td, in the air water vapor content unchanged, maintain a certain pressure, so that the air cooling to reach saturation temperature called dew point temperature, referred to as dew point, the unit is expressed in ° C or ℉. It's actually the temperature at which water vapor and water are in equilibrium. The difference between the actual temperature (t) and the dew point temperature (Td) indicates how far the air is saturated. When t>Td, it means that the air is not saturated, when t=Td, it is saturated, and when t<Td, it is supersaturated.
dew is the liquid water in the air that condenses on the ground. In the evening or at night, due to the radiation cooling of the ground or ground objects, the air layer close to the surface will also cool down. When the temperature drops below the dew point, that is, when the water vapor content in the air is susaturated, there will be condensation of water vapor on the surface of the ground or ground objects. If the dew point temperature is above 0 ° C at this time, tiny water droplets appear on the ground or ground objects, which are called dew.
frost refers to the white ice crystals formed on the ground or objects after the air close to the ground is cooled to the frost point (meaning the dew point is below 0) under the influence of radiation cooling on the ground.
fog refers to the condensation of water vapor suspended in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface, composed of small water droplets or ice crystals. When the temperature reaches the dew point temperature (or is close to the dew point), the water vapor in the air condenses to form fog.
snow is solid water in the form of snowflakes that falls to the ground from mixed clouds. Precipitation consisting of a large number of white opaque ice crystals (snow crystals) and their polymers (snow masses). Snow is the natural phenomenon of water condensing and falling in the air, or falling snow;
There is a limit to the amount of water vapor that can be contained in a unit volume of air under a certain pressure and a certain temperature. If the water vapor contained in the volume of air exceeds this limit, the water vapor will condense and produce precipitation, and the actual value of water vapor in the volume of air. In terms of absolute humidity. The more water vapor there is, the higher the absolute humidity of the air.
Relative Humidity refers to the percentage of water vapor pressure in the air and saturated water vapor pressure at the same temperature, or the ratio of the absolute humidity of wet air to the maximum absolute humidity that can be reached at the same temperature, and can also be expressed as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in wet air to the saturation pressure of water at the same temperature.
Humidity: wet and dry bulb measurement
The dry and wet bulb thermometer is used to detect the [relative humidity] in the air, the dry bulb temperature is the temperature measured by the general temperature sensor, and the wet bulb temperature is tied on the temperature sensor with a wet cloth, and then soaked in a small cup of water, so that the water is wrapped in the whole sensor, because the relative humidity in the air must be less than or equal to 100% (the water vapor in the air is not saturated). Therefore, the moisture of the wet bulb will be evaporated, and the heat will be taken away during evaporation, resulting in a drop in the wet bulb temperature (the dry bulb temperature is the real air temperature), which means that the greater the difference in the readings of the dry and wet bulb thermometer, the more vigorous the evaporation of water, and the smaller the relative humidity in the air, as long as the temperature of the dry and wet bulb is measured, Then compare [relative humidity table] you can know the relative humidity of the environment at that time.
Conduction Zone of Heat
Thermal conductivity
It is the thermal conductivity of a substance, passing from high temperature to low temperature within the same substance. Also known as: thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer, thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity.
Thermal conductivity formula
k = (Q/t) *L/(A*T) k: thermal conductivity, Q: heat, t: time, L: length, A: area, T: temperature difference in SI units, the unit of thermal conductivity is W/(m*K), in imperial units, is Btu · ft/(h · ft2 · °F)
Heat transfer coefficient
In thermodynamics, mechanical engineering and chemical engineering, the heat conductivity is used to calculate the heat conduction, mainly the heat conduction of convection or the phase transformation between fluid and solid, which is defined as the heat through the unit area per unit time under the unit temperature difference, called the heat conduction coefficient of the substance, if the thickness of the mass of L, the measurement value to be multiplied by L, The resulting value is the coefficient of thermal conductivity, usually denoted as k.
Unit conversion of heat conduction coefficient
1 (CAL) = 4.186 (j), 1 (CAL/s) = 4.186 (j/s) = 4.186 (W).
The impact of high temperature on electronic products:
The rise in temperature will cause the resistance value of the resistor to decrease, but also shorten the service life of the capacitor, in addition, the high temperature will cause the transformer, the performance of the related insulation materials to decrease, the temperature is too high will also cause the solder joint alloy structure on the PCB board to change: IMC thickens, solder joints become brittle, tin whisker increases, mechanical strength decreases, junction temperature increases, the current amplification ratio of transistor increases rapidly, resulting in collector current increases, junction temperature further increases, and finally component failure.
Explanation of proper terms:
Junction Temperature: The actual temperature of a semiconductor in an electronic device. In operation, it is usually higher than the Case Temperature of the package, and the temperature difference is equal to the heat flow multiplied by the thermal resistance. Free convection (natural convection) : Radiation (radiation) : Forced Air(gas cooling) : Forced Liquid (gas cooling) : Liquid Evaporation: Surface Surroundings Surroundings
Common simple considerations for thermal design:
1 Simple and reliable cooling methods such as heat conduction, natural convection and radiation should be used to reduce costs and failures.
2 Shorten the heat transfer path as much as possible, and increase the heat exchange area.
3 When installing components, the influence of radiation heat exchange of peripheral components should be fully considered, and the thermal sensitive devices should be kept away from the heat source or find a way to use the protective measures of the heat shield to isolate the components from the heat source.
4 There should be sufficient distance between the air inlet and the exhaust port to avoid hot air reflux.
5 The temperature difference between the incoming air and the outgoing air should be less than 14 ° C.
6 It should be noted that the direction of forced ventilation and natural ventilation should be consistent as far as possible.
7 Devices with large heat should be installed as close as possible to the surface that is easy to dissipate heat (such as the inner surface of the metal casing, metal base and metal bracket, etc.), and there is good contact heat conduction between the surface.
8 Power supply part of the high-power tube and rectifier bridge pile belong to the heating device, it is best to install directly on the housing to increase the heat dissipation area. In the layout of the printed board, more copper layers should be left on the board surface around the larger power transistor to improve the heat dissipation capacity of the bottom plate.
9 When using free convection, avoid using heat sinks that are too dense.
10 The thermal design should be considered to ensure that the current carrying capacity of the wire, the diameter of the selected wire must be suitable for the conduction of the current, without causing more than the allowable temperature rise and pressure drop.
11 If the heat distribution is uniform, the spacing of the components should be uniform to make the wind flow evenly through each heat source.
12 When using forced convection cooling (fans), place the temperature-sensitive components closest to the air intake.
13 The use of free convection cooling equipment to avoid arranging other parts above the high power consumption parts, the correct approach should be uneven horizontal arrangement.
14 If the heat distribution is not uniform, the components should be sparsely arranged in the area with large heat generation, and the component layout in the area with small heat generation should be slightly denser, or add a diversion bar, so that the wind energy can effectively flow to the key heating devices.
15 The structural design principle of the air inlet: on the one hand, try to minimize its resistance to the air flow, on the other hand, consider dust prevention, and comprehensively consider the impact of the two.
16 Power consumption components should be spaced as far apart as possible.
17 Avoid crowding temperature sensitive parts together or arranging them next to high power consuming parts or hot spots.
18 The use of free convection cooling equipment to avoid arranging other parts above the high power consumption parts, the correct practice should be uneven horizontal arrangement.
Temperature Cyclic Stress Screening (1)
Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)
Stress screening is the use of acceleration techniques and environmental stress under the design strength limit, such as: burn in, temperature cycling, random vibration, power cycle... By accelerating the stress, the potential defects in the product emerge [potential parts material defects, design defects, process defects, process defects], and eliminate electronic or mechanical residual stress, as well as eliminate stray capacitors between multi-layer circuit boards, the early death stage of the product in the bath curve is removed and repaired in advance, so that the product through moderate screening, Save the normal period and decline period of the bathtub curve to avoid the product in the process of use, the test of environmental stress sometimes lead to failure, resulting in unnecessary losses. Although the use of ESS stress screening will increase the cost and time, for improving the product delivery yield and reduce the number of repairs, there is a significant effect, but for the total cost will be reduced. In addition, customer trust will also be improved, generally for electronic parts of the stress screening methods are pre-burning, temperature cycle, high temperature, low temperature, PCB printed circuit board stress screening method is temperature cycle, for the electronic cost of the stress screening is: Power pre-burning, temperature cycling, random vibration, in addition to the stress screen itself is a process stage, rather than a test, screening is 100% of the product procedure.
Stress screening applicable product stage: R & D stage, mass production stage, before delivery (screening test can be carried out in components, devices, connectors and other products or the whole machine system, according to different requirements can have different screening stress)
Stress screening comparison:
a. Constant high temperature pre-burning (Burn in) stress screening, is the current electronic IT industry commonly used method to precipitate electronic components defects, but this method is not suitable for screening parts (PCB, IC, resistor, capacitor), According to statistics, the number of companies in the United States that use temperature cycling to screen parts is five times more than the number of companies that use constant high temperature prefiring to screen components.
B. GJB/DZ34 indicates the proportion of temperature cycle and random vibrating screen selection defects, temperature accounted for about 80%, vibration accounted for about 20% of the defects in various products.
c. The United States has conducted a survey of 42 enterprises, random vibration stress can screen out 15 to 25% of the defects, while the temperature cycle can screen out 75 to 85%, if the combination of the two can reach 90%.
d. The proportion of product defect types detected by temperature cycling: insufficient design margin: 5%, production and workmanship errors: 33%, defective parts: 62%
Description of fault induction of temperature cyclic stress screening:
The cause of product failure induced by temperature cycling is: when the temperature is cycled within the upper and lower extremal temperatures, the product produces alternating expansion and contraction, resulting in thermal stress and strain in the product. If there is a transient thermal ladder (temperature non-uniformity) within the product, or the thermal expansion coefficients of adjacent materials within the product do not match each other, these thermal stresses and strains will be more drastic. This stress and strain is greatest at the defect, and this cycle causes the defect to grow so large that it can eventually cause structural failure and generate electrical failure. For example, a cracked electroplated through-hole eventually cracks completely around it, causing an open circuit. Thermal cycling enables soldering and plating through holes on printed circuit boards... Temperature cyclic stress screening is especially suitable for electronic products with printed circuit board structure.
The fault mode triggered by the temperature cycle or the impact on the product is as follows:
a. The expansion of various microscopic cracks in the coating, material or wire
b. Loosen poorly bonded joints
c. Loosen improperly connected or riveted joints
d. Relax the pressed fittings with insufficient mechanical tension
e. Increase the contact resistance of poor quality solder joints or cause an open circuit

p. Dual row integrated circuit failure
q. A box or cable that is nearly short-circuited due to damage or improper assembly
r. Breakage, breakage, scoring of material due to improper handling... Etc.
s. out-of-tolerance parts and materials
t. resistor ruptured due to lack of synthetic rubber buffer coating
u. The transistor hair is involved in the grounding of the metal strip
v. Mica insulation gasket rupture, resulting in short circuit transistor
w. Improper fixing of the metal plate of the regulating coil leads to irregular output
x. The bipolar vacuum tube is open internally at low temperature
y. Coil indirect short circuit
z. Ungrounded terminals

a2. Components are improperly installed
a3. Misused components
a4. Seal failure
Introduction of stress parameters for temperature cyclic stress screening:
The stress parameters of temperature cyclic stress screening mainly include the following: high and low temperature extremum range, dwell time, temperature variability, cycle number
High and low temperature extremal range: the larger the range of high and low temperature extremal, the fewer cycles required, the lower the cost, but can not exceed the product can withstand the limit, do not cause new fault principle, the difference between the upper and lower limits of temperature change is not less than 88°C, the typical range of change is -54°C to 55°C.
Dwell time: In addition, the dwell time can not be too short, otherwise it is too late to make the product under test produce thermal expansion and contraction stress changes, as for the dwell time, the dwell time of different products is different, you can refer to the relevant specification requirements.
Number of cycles: As for the number of cycles of temperature cyclic stress screening, it is also determined by considering product characteristics, complexity, upper and lower limits of temperature and screening rate, and the screening number should not be exceeded, otherwise it will cause unnecessary harm to the product and cannot improve the screening rate. The number of temperature cycles ranges from 1 to 10 cycles [ordinary screening, primary screening] to 20 to 60 cycles [precision screening, secondary screening], for the removal of the most likely workmanship defects, about 6 to 10 cycles can be effectively removed, in addition to the effectiveness of the temperature cycle, Mainly depends on the temperature variation of the product surface, rather than the temperature variation inside the test box.
There are seven main influencing parameters of temperature cycle:
(1) Temperature Range
(2) Number of Cycles
(3) Temperature Rate of Chang
(4) Dwell Time
(5) Airflow Velocities
(6) Uniformity of Stress
(7) Function test or not (Product Operating Condition)

VMR- plate Temperature Cycle Transient Break Test
Temperature cycle test is one of the most commonly used methods for reliability and life test of lead-free welding materials and SMD parts. It evaluates the adhesive parts and solder joints on the surface of SMD, and causes plastic deformation and mechanical fatigue of solder joints materials under the fatigue effect of cold and hot temperature cycle with controlled temperature variability, so as to understand the potential hazards and failure factors of solder joints and SMD. The Daisy chain diagram is connected between the parts and the solder joints. The test process detects the on-off and on-off between the lines, parts and solder joints through the high-speed instantaneous break measuring system, which meets the demand for the reliability test of electrical connections to evaluate whether the solder joints, tin balls and parts fail. This test is not really simulated. Its purpose is to apply severe stress and accelerate the aging factor on the object to be tested to confirm whether the product is designed or manufactured correctly, and then evaluate the thermal fatigue life of the component solder joints. The reliability test of the electrical high-speed instantaneous break connection has become a key link to ensure the normal operation of the electronic system and avoid the failure of the electrical connection caused by the failure of the immature system. The resistance changes over a short period of time were observed under accelerated temperature changes and vibration tests.
Purpose:
1. Ensure that products designed, manufactured and assembled meet predetermined requirements
2. Relaxation of solder joint creep stress and SMD fracture failure caused by thermal expansion difference
3. The maximum test temperature of the temperature cycle should be 25℃ lower than the Tg temperature of the PCB material, so as to avoid more than one damage mechanism of the substitute test product
4. Temperature variability at 20℃/min is a temperature cycle, and temperature variability above 20℃/min is a temperature shock
5. The welding joint dynamic measurement interval does not exceed 1min
6. The high temperature and low temperature residence time for failure determination needs to be measured in 5 strokes
Requirements:
1. The total temperature time of the test product is within the range of the rated maximum temperature and the minimum temperature, and the length of the residence time is very important for the accelerated test, because the residence time is not enough during the accelerated test, which will make the creep process incomplete
2. The resident temperature must be higher than Tmax temperature and lower than Tmin temperature
