Overview Differential Scanning Calorimetry is a simple yet powerful technique for gaining a broad understanding of the characteristics of pharmaceutical materials. Many of the properties that are explored using DSC, including apparent melting, the glass transition, and purity, are critical towards understanding the impact of processing conditions as well as the stability and compatibility…
Overview Have you been tasked with answering any of the following or similar questions? Will our product flow under these conditions? What are the optimal processing conditions? Will this formulation be accepted or rejected by our sensory panel? What is the working time for this adhesive? How strong is the final composite sample? Will…
Overview You will gain insight into the role of chemical characterization in newly modified EU Medical Device Regulations (EU MDR) impacting ISO 10993. This webinar highlights how you can leverage HRMS to overcome characterization challenges.
Overview Learn how mechanical test instruments are assisting researchers and engineers in gaining a better understanding of native and artificial tissue performance.
Overview Fatigue and durability testing are critical applications in the regulatory submission process. A variety of methods are discussed in helping to develop predictions for the design, optimization, and approval of medical devices.
Overview In this webinar, we address applications of rheology fundamentals in the testing of biomaterials and biomedical devices. The discussion focuses on two approaches to rheological testing – unidirectional testing and dynamic oscillatory testing.
Overview This webinar addresses microcalorimetric testing can shed light on the effects of coatings and sterilization on material stability and how it can support the overall study of the rate, extent, and prevention of cell adhesion.
Overview An overview of the use of thermal analysis techniques in materials characterization is explored with reference to typical examples of the type, quality, and usefulness of data that can be gathered and the interpretation of results.
Overview Rheo-microscopy combines rheological measurements with simultaneous investigation of the material’s microstructure, and how it may evolve in response to external stresses or strain fields. This webinar will showcase the power of rheo-microscopy for an accurate interpretation of rheological data in the context of three case studies, each on a different material and using…
Overview Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is typically used during biopharmaceutical development to characterize a biomolecule through its thermal stability and unfolding profile. Here we demonstrate the suitability of DSC for studies of opaque solutions and slurries. Because of its universal indicator, heat, the technique can be applied to samples with magnetic or polystyrene beads,…
Overview It is now well established that the calendar life and cycle life of Li and Li-ion cells and batteries is highly dependent upon the secondary reactions that occur between the electrodes and the cell electrolyte. These reactions are often referred to as parasitic reactions, as they generally result in the loss of…
Overview Thermogravimetric Analysis, or TGA, is a powerful analytical tool for measuring changes in a sample’s mass as its environmental temperature shifts. When coupled with other instrumental techniques such as mass spectrometers and infrared spectrometers, chemical analysis of the evolved gases is achieved. These hyphenated techniques have a long history in thermal analysis.…
