Thermal Analysis and Rheology in the Pharmaceutical Industry

From a disease to the pharmaceutical drug product that comes on the market to fight it, the development of new drugs is going through several stages. Methods of thermal analysis accompany and facilitate Research & Development, scale-up and quality control. Read more about Thermal Analysis and Rheology in the Pharmaceutical Field.

Thermal Analysis and Rheology comprise essential analytical methods supporting the development of pharmaceuticals and ensuring their quality: Determine the Melting Temperatures and EnthalpiesThe enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as latent heat, is a measure of the energy input, typically heat, which is necessary to convert a substance from solid to liquid state. The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid (crystalline) to liquid (isotropic melt).melting temperature, purity and Thermal StabilityA material is thermally stable if it does not decompose under the influence of temperature. One way to determine the thermal stability of a substance is to use a TGA (thermogravimetric analyzer). thermal stability of tablet ingredients and find the right spreading properties for ointments – to name just a few application examples.
