Determining Thermal Stability of Antibodies with a Nano DSC
The interaction between the antigen binding site and an antigen is extremely specific, which has made antibodies very highly desirable reagents when developing a wide variety of antigen detection assays.
DetailsDSC Analysis of the Effect of Calcium Stearate on Crystallization of Polypropylene Nucleated with Sodium Benzoate – Modeling a PP Recycle Stream
This note demonstrates the utility of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements in evaluating the effects of an antagonistic interaction of two common additives that may be found in a mechanical recycle stream of polypropylene (PP).
DetailsDSC Step Annealing for Fingerprinting Molecular Structure in Poly(vinylidene fluoride)
DSC 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.
DetailsDynamic Mechanical Testing of Environmentally Friendly Drinking Straws
To assess how alternative materials perform as compared to traditional plastic materials, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) may be used in addition to previously reported tensile, compressive, and hardness methods.
DetailsEffect of Moisture and Substrate Material on Wall Friction Angle of Carboxymethyl Cellulose Powder
This work investigates the influence of moisture content and substrate material on the wall friction of carboxymethyl cellulose powder, which is used as an excipient in tablet formulations.
DetailsEffect of Moisture on Cohesion Strength of Carboxymethyl Cellulose Powder
The impact of moisture content on cohesion strength is measured using the TA Instruments Powder Rheology Accessory. It was found that as moisture content increases, cohesion strength also increases, demonstrating the importance of controlling humidity during processing.
DetailsEffect of Thermal Degradation on Polymer Thermal Properties
In this Applications note, we demonstrate using TGA to precisely control the degree of degradation to be < 5wt% and characterize the impact of degrees of degradation on polymer thermal properties.
DetailsEpoxy Powder Rheology: Impact of Temperature on Flow and Shear Properties
TA Instruments Powder Rheology Accessory for Temperature Control is used to study a filled epoxy resin for powder coatings. The results show that care must be taken in storage and processing, even at temperatures below the glass transition due to the effects on flowability and cohesion.
DetailsEstimation of Polymer Lifetime by TGA Decomposition Kinetics
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) provides a method for accelerating the lifetime testing of polymers so that short term experiments can be used to predict in-use lifetime.
DetailsEvaluating AAV Gene Therapy Vectors using Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a leading gene therapy platform but pose challenges regarding encapsidation efficiency and quality control. This work highlights the use of the Nano DSC to overcome some of the challenges associated with AAVs.
