TA Instruments’ 3300 and 3510 load frames can be used to characterize the mechanical strength and durability of breast implants. These insights are crucial for both the design optimization and final validation that is required for regulation.
Hydrogels are used for a range of applications. In this study, we characterized two different types of topical wound dressing hydrogels, one specialized for radiation dermatitis, and another for low exudating wounds using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) techniques.
A rheometer is a powerful instrument that can be used to monitor the gel formation and also to measure the gel strength. Two case studies are discussed regarding the use of a TA Instruments’ rotational rheometer to analyze the properties of different types of hydrogels.
This study had a threefold purpose: 1) study the creep response of bone to repetitive phsyiologically-relevant loading 2) to perform these types of tests on a small scale; and, 3) to illustrate and identify age-related effects on the mechanical properties of bone.
Choosing to model DSC data can give additional insight into the unfolding process of a macromolecule or be helpful to deconvolute a multiple transition thermogram. This application note will discuss general guidelines of choosing the correct baseline and DSC model.
The nitinol shape-memory alloy solid-solid transition is studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which reveals the reversible and hysteretic nature of this transition. This can be used to provide information on the composition of the nitinol alloy. It also serves as a tool to detect the existence of, and changes in, the intermediate R-phase.
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is the best technique to obtain a complete understanding of the driving forces leading to a binding interaction. There have been significant advances to the technology and method development leading to a workflow solution for every lab.
Overview In this Tech Tip, we will give a general overview of the parameters you need to select when running a modulated differential scanning calorimetry experiment, also known as MDSC.
We performed a comparability study of a liquid protein reference formulation using a nano differential scanning calorimeter (Nano DSC) to reveal that this thermodynamic technology detects the smallest changes in biomolecular structure in response to subtle manipulations in the reference formulation.
To Characterize the Variation in Material Properties of Non-Woven PLGA Fibers
Successful additive manufacturing products depend upon your materials’ properties and behaviors. Rheology provides valuable information for safe, efficient, and reproducible polymer manufacturing.
This application note will review the microcalorimetric techniques that are most commonly used within pharmaceutical science: including stability and compatibility tests, determination of small amounts of amorphic content and characterizing polymorphism.
