Pharmaceutical Research, Development and Quality Assurance

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetry are two Thermal Analysis techniques that are described in both the European (Ph. Eur., Chapter 2.2.34) and the United States pharmacopeia (USP, Chapter 891).



Coupling thermobalances to gas analysis systems such as mass spectrometers (QMS, Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer) or FTIR instruments (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) expands the spectrum of analysis and can yield important information about vaporization processes (release of solvents, sublimations) or changes in the chemical composition (water release from hydrates, decomposition) of active ingredients, auxiliary substances and formulations.
