How Sustainable Polymer Development is Supported by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Polymers, Rheology, Thermal Analysis

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a technique to measure the response of materials when they are subjected to dynamic or cyclic forces. Typically, dynamic mechanical analysis involves looking at the elastic and viscous response of the material when it is under a small oscillating load that probes the molecular structure’s response to the perturbation . Other variables, such as temperature, time and frequency may be changed as part of the testing to characterize how the material performs under different environmental conditions.

How to Accelerate Thermal Stability Testing for High-Concentration Drugs

Biopharmaceuticals, Microcalorimetry

The stability of high-concentration drugs can change under storage conditions, but until now, thermal testing in the lab using traditional calorimetry methods has been time-consuming and challenging. The new TA Instruments RS-DSC fills a critical antibody formulation development gap by allowing for high-throughput short-term thermal stability testing at formulation strength concentrations. In this blog, we explore why that’s essential.

How to Assess Binding in Drug Discovery

Biopharmaceuticals, Microcalorimetry

The most popular tool used to characterize binding in the late-discovery phase of drug development is isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). ITC is a high-resolution method for complete characterization of the basic chemical details of a binding interaction. The calorimeters accomplish this by measuring the heat that is released or absorbed when molecules interact with each other.
