Lyophilization, also called freeze-drying, is the process of removing water from a sample, often for preservation. Lyophilization involves the sublimation of a sample’s water content, usually through a rapid freezing process. Freezing materials quickly helps avoid the destruction of the cell walls in the sample from the formation of large ice crystals.

DetailsBring Simplicity, Accuracy, and Uniformity to Your Coatings Testing If your lab is running the same tests over and over again, or has multiple users running the same tests, you want consistency in your testing process. TRIOS AutoPilot is a powerful tool for extending the capabilities of the TA Instruments Discovery Hybrid Rheometers. AutoPilot can…
DetailsFrom shiny cars to streak-free walls, we demand a lot from our coatings and paints. A high-quality paint not only needs dazzling color, but also must offer the right material properties for a smooth application and drying process. Consistency is crucial: too thin and the paint will run and drip; too thick and it will clump and not dry evenly. Spray paints and coatings also need to be applied smoothly without clogging the spray device.
DetailsOverview In this Tech Tip, we will discuss how to create user-defined variables in TRIOS. User-defined variables expand your capabilities for advanced analysis and custom reports within TRIOS software. Learn how to set custom scalar sample properties and create variables defined by a customized equation for both thermal analysis and rheology tests in this quick…
DetailsAntibody stability is crucial for antibody performance in therapeutics. High antibody thermostabilities are essential for creating products with a reasonable shelf life and avoiding problems with deterioration of the biophysical properties of the antibody.
