Tennis players of all levels know that the right ball can make or break your game. But how do different balls compare, and how can manufacturers reliably measure these differences?
DetailsWebinar Assessing Production and Stability for Current and Emerging Antibody Drug Conjugate Platforms Summary Clinically approved ADCs, despite high antibody sequence similarity, vary in linkers, payloads, and formulations. In this webinar we explore analytical techniques for ADC characterization—such as Intact Mass Spectrometry (DAR), peptide mapping, infrared spectroscopy, absorbance, DLS, and DSC—to evaluate structure, aggregation, and…
DetailsIn this informative video, Monika Schen from TA Instruments discusses the selection of sample pens for Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). She explains the various effects measurable by DSC, including endothermic and exothermic reactions, and highlights its applications in characterizing materials like polymers and food.
DetailsGrab your favorite mug and get ready for a caffeinated clash of titans! We all know that coffees produced in different regions are distinct; like wine, the taste will vary with soil, climate, and altitude. Some of our lab members are partial to the distinct flavors from Colombia and Brazil when it comes to their cups of coffee.
DetailsRheology Testing Fast Frequency Chirps Fast Frequency Chirps technology transforms how frequency sweeps are performed on Discovery Hybrid Rheometers. By using rapid, continuous frequency-modulated “chirps,” this method enables efficient measurement of a material’s linear viscoelastic properties, capturing dynamic changes such as curing or chemical reactions. Fast Frequency Chirps use Optimally Windowed Chirps (OWCh) to capture…
DetailsInnovation in materials science is a continuous pursuit, driven by the demand for lighter, stronger, more durable, and more reliable components. This is especially critical in the aerospace and defense industries, where materials must perform reliably under extreme conditions—including intense mechanical stress, wide temperature fluctuations, and long-term environmental exposure.
DetailsIn battery manufacturing, quality starts with the slurry. For QA/QC professionals, ensuring the consistency and performance of electrode slurries is not just a checkpoint — it’s a quality control imperative. Slurry quality directly impacts electrode uniformity, adhesion, and ultimately, battery performance and lifespan.
DetailsWebinar Battery Material Changes in Real Time: Silicon Anode Structural Evaluation via Isothermal Microcalorimetry From cutting-edge cars to appliances in the home and ones you wear on your wrist, battery technology is evolving rapidly, racing to keep up with consumer and industry demands. Understanding battery chemistry is essential in battery research that could hold the…
