Researchers from the University of Hertfordshire’s School of Life and Medical Sciences collaborated with Linkam to provide an in-depth analysis into how the optical DSC450 and TASC can be used to characterise drug-polymer-excipient systems for pharmaceutical applications.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a technique used to measure the temperature and heat flow associated with thermal transitions in materials. The optical DSC450 system has been optimised for those wishing to measure the transition temperatures and enthalpy changes of their samples. The design allows mounting of the stage on a microscope, enabling image and time lapse recording of sample transitions at high resolution.
