Overcoming solvent evaporation/drying during rheological testing on rotational rheometer

This paper shows how using a solvent trap can be used to prevent sample drying/solvent loss during extended testing, helping to ensure that only rheological changes are being measured and not artifacts resulting from drying of the sample at the air/sample interface.

Measurements of absolute molecular weight of synthetic polymers

In this application note, we'll describe the successful molecular weight measurement of a polystyrene, PMMA and PVC sample using the OMNISEC system. This instrument can accurately measure the absolute molecular weight of any polymers independent of elution volume or structure. Although the measurements here have been performed using simple polymers, these methods can be applied to any polymer measured by GPC.

Accelerating the deformulation workflow for oral solid dosage forms

In this white paper we examine the deformulation workflow, demonstrating the value of the technique of Morphologically Directed Raman Spectroscopy (MDRS) within this context. Case studies illustrate the relevance of MDRS data.

Detecting agglomerates within pharmaceutical formulations

Particle agglomeration can compromise the clinical efficacy of pharmaceutical products and must therefore be closely controlled. Automated particle image analysis provides one technology which can aid agglomerate detection. This article provides practical guidance on how imaging can be applied as a routine method to robustly identify and quantify the state of agglomeration of pharmaceutical formulations.
