When it comes to selecting materials for your next innovative product, the material specification sheet is likely the first place that you will turn. This document provides core properties measured by the manufacturer and serves as an essential tool for supplier verification and new product development. However, while these sheets are reliable and provide a standard method for comparison, they often fail to tell the whole story.
Our world is brimming with viscoelastic materials: The dough you knead before baking a fresh loaf, the Silly Putty your toddler slaps against the wall, the rubber gaskets that create an airtight seal on an airplane door. Testing those materials by applying controlled deformations (strains) or forces (stresses) at various timescales, temperatures, and/or humidities allows for the optimization of properties and ensures durability and safety.

Biologic therapies derived from living organisms have revolutionized the treatment of complex diseases, yet their high development costs are often passed onto patients. Biosimilar drugs offer a promising solution to reduce costs while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. Unlike generic drugs, biosimilars cannot be exact replicas of their reference biologics due to their complex structures, necessitating rigorous testing and regulatory approval.
This eBook showcases the various tools accessible to R&D and QA/QC environments for proactive characterization and troubleshooting of polymer materials.

Overview In this Tech Tip, we will demonstrate how to prepare the disposable microfluidic sample chips for use in the TA Instruments Rapid Screening Differential Scanning Calorimeter (RS-DSC).
MILFORD, Mass. – July 23, 2024 – Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) announced today the global release of the TA Instruments™ Rapid Screening-Differential Scanning Calorimeter (TA Instruments RS-DSC), designed for biopharmaceutical developers. The TA Instruments RS-DSC is a high-throughput DSC for precise thermal stability testing of high-concentration biologic formulations specifically for antibody drugs and engineered proteins.
The stability of high-concentration drugs can change under storage conditions, but until now, thermal testing in the lab using traditional calorimetry methods has been time-consuming and challenging. The new TA Instruments RS-DSC fills a critical antibody formulation development gap by allowing for high-throughput short-term thermal stability testing at formulation strength concentrations. In this blog, we explore why that’s essential.
