Developmental activities for freeze-dried products are dictated by the limited availability and high cost of newly developed active compounds, and by Quality-by-Design requirements. Laboratory-scale freeze dryers used for formulation and process development show an excessive variety of designs and instrumentation concepts, making scale-up activities a challenge. The development of miniaturised equipment may provide enormous benefits in terms of development times and costs.
Temperature-Controlled Fabrication of Functional Nanomaterials with High Surface Areas
This article looks at how researchers use temperature-controlled procedures with Linkam’s TS1500 to synthesize and characterize porous maghemite nanoparticles.
The Effect of Supercooling on Cryopreservation of Cells
A Thermal Analysis Technique That Combines Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Light Microscopy
TASC is a powerful technique to gain structural phase information, similar to DSC, from a range of our temperature control stages including the DSC450 and THMS600. This article discusses the advantages of this technique, with specific reference to its application in the analysis of polymer blends for drug delivery.
