There has been significant work done looking at using IMC to characterize the growth patterns of bacteria3-9 and even converting isothermal microcalorimetry data into biologically meaningful data such as growth rate, lag phase, or maximum growth.
DetailsThis note demonstrates the utility of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements in evaluating the effects of an antagonistic interaction of two common additives that may be found in a mechanical recycle stream of polypropylene (PP).
DetailsThis app note introduces the application of the measurement of metabolizable energy for growth of living organisms in food processing.
DetailsThis article investigates the flexing properties and heat generation of rubber mixtures of styrene butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber, with silica and carbon black as fillers, using Goodrich Flexometer test or Heat Build-up.7
DetailsThe thermal properties of liquids can be determined through the Heat Flow Meter Method. This is achieved with the DTC-300 instrument, a General Purpose Heat Flow Meter. Though a ‘standard’ sample tested via HFM is a solid disc of varying thickness, the implementation of an optional test cell allows for liquids to be tested as well, provided that they are in the range of 0.1 – 1.0 W/m·K.
DetailsTwo commercially available electrolytes are evaluated in this work to understand transitions at low temperatures which may impact battery performance.
DetailsThis work investigates the influence of moisture content and substrate material on the wall friction of carboxymethyl cellulose powder, which is used as an excipient in tablet formulations.
DetailsTA Instruments Powder Rheology Accessory for Temperature Control is used to study a filled epoxy resin for powder coatings. The results show that care must be taken in storage and processing, even at temperatures below the glass transition due to the effects on flowability and cohesion.
DetailsIn this note, a lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) cathode and graphite anode are evaluated, finding higher reaction energy in the cathode, and increasing thermal stability with decreasing state-of-charge.
DetailsThermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), which provides information about the thermal stability and decomposition rate of materials, is an excellent technique for rapidly comparing the behavior of materials tested with different flame retardants.

DetailsA lignite coal sample and several petroleum coke samples have been gasified in the new Discovery HP-TGA 75 and 7500 instruments using carbon dioxide and steam as gasifying agents. The evolved gas atmosphere was analyzed with online mass spectrometry to detect the generated syngas components.
