Thermal Analysis and Rheology at its Best: Sensitive Analytics to Characterize Organics and Pharmaceuticals

Thermal analysis and rheometry are essential, reliable techniques in preclinical research and development, thermal safety studies, and quality control. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is the most commonly used method for determining fundamental physicochemical properties, polymorphic studies, and the compatibility of different formulation components. Thermal stability is best analyzed through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which is ideal for investigating hydrates, solvates, and residual solvents in solid samples. When coupled with gas analyzers (FT-IR, MS, GC-MS), TGA allows for evolved gas analysis (EGA), helping identify gas species released during mass-loss events. Kinetic analysis of TGA data using NETZSCH Kinetics Neo software enables predictions of material behavior, including long-term stability.
Additionally, the seminar will cover the application of oscillatory rheometry as a vital tool for predicting the shelf life of dispersions in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food products. By assessing the viscoelastic properties of these dispersions, rheology offers valuable insights into product stability over time. Attendees will learn how to leverage oscillatory rheometry data to forecast changes in product behavior, ensuring that products maintain their quality and performance throughout their lifecycle.
