DSC Characterization of Crystalline Structure in Foods and Pharmaceuticals Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is an analytical technique frequently used to detect and quantify crystalline content of pharmaceuticals, foods, polymers, and many other materials. Appearing as an endothermic peak during heating in a DSC experiment, the temperature and area of the peak can be used to…
DetailsDSC Characterization of Crystalline Structure in Foods and Pharmaceuticals Part 1 Overview The determination of the crystalline structure that exists in a pharmaceutical material is critical to fully understanding the inherent properties of the resultant drug. The crystal structure can influence the drug’s properties, such as stability and dissolution rates, as well as impact the…
DetailsDSC Characterization of Crystalline Structure in Foods and Pharmaceuticals: Apparent Melting Part 2 Overview This webinar on “Apparent Melting” is part two of a three-part series on use of Differential Scanning Calorimetry to characterize crystalline structure of foods and pharmaceuticals. Although apparent melting looks like true/thermodynamic melting and causes a loss of crystalline structure,…

DetailsDSC step annealing is used to study the fine molecular structure of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) homopolymers and copolymers. The melting pattern, obtained after step annealing, is a characteristic “fingerprint” for small variations in structure. This “fingerprint” detects variations in the polymerization process, the molecular weight of the polymer, the fraction and the nature of the co-monomer.
DetailsOverview In this Tech Tip, we introduce the new DSC Thermal Transitions TRIOS Guided Method.
DetailsDTC 300 is a guarded heat flow meter measuring the thermal conductivity over a wide range of temperatures accordingly to the ASTM E1530 Standard.
It employs one calorimeter module, located in the bottom stack, for the measurement of thermal conductivity, and a side guard furnace to prevent edge heat loss. The contact resistance is minimized by applying a pneumatic load to the test stack, and by using a thermally conductive interface compound.
