Designing New Materials for Additive Manufacturing: Vat Photopolymerization

Designing New Materials for Additive Manufacturing: Vat Photopolymerization Overview 3D printing, or additive manufacturing (AM), provides opportunities to create previously unattainable geometric objects through layer-by-layer fabrication. Novel macromolecular structures and synthetic methods coupled with unique printing methods lead to 3D part generation with micron-scale resolution and tunable to emerging technologies. By tuning polymer structure, printing…

Long Term Stability Analysis of Monoclonal Antibodies

Long Term Stability Analysis of Monoclonal Antibodies Overview Characterization of biopharmaceuticals during all development phases is critical to the candidate selection process and the ongoing production of the active material. Some recent efforts to achieve patient self-administration has required high API concentrations (100-300 mg/mL). Development concerns for the high concentration formulations are denaturation, aggregation and…

Evolved Gas Analysis: TGA/FTIR

Evolved Gas Analysis: TGA/FTIR Overview Interested in detecting and identifying the presence of residual solvents in your formulation? Would you like to determine the thermal decomposition mechanism of your material? Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) directly measures weight change of a material as it is heated over a temperature range in a controlled atmosphere. If observing a…

Stability Testing of Energetic Materials by Isothermal Microcalorimetry

Stability Testing of Energetic Materials by Isothermal Microcalorimetry Overview This webinar introduces the use of isothermal microcalorimetry for stability measurement of energetic materials. Energetic materials refer to materials, chemicals and substances which exhibit a risk for self-decomposition associated with self-heating ultimately resulting in run-way reactions. Such materials include propellants, percarbonates and peroxides, and these…
