On Thursday 4 November 2004, at 15:00 GMT, Graham Buckton of the University of London's school of pharmacy will host a live online seminar on pharmaceutical material characterisation
This one-hour presentation, entitled New Insights Into Pharmaceutical Material Characterisation: HyperDSC and its Potential, will provide researchers and drug developers with information on the practical applications of HyperDSC, a unique thermal analysis DSC method that can help laboratories to discover new, often previously undetected sample information, while improving productivity and throughput.
Following is an overview of the presentation.
Definition of fast scan or high-speed DSC.
What is HyperDSC?.
Detecting and quantifying polymorphic material utilising HyperDSC.
Detecting and quantifying amorphous content utilising HyperDSC.
Preventing early decomposition and detecting new transitions.
Summary.
Live Q and A session with Professor Buckton.
The HyperDSC technique is only available on the Diamond DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) instrument from PerkinElmer.
HyperDSC provides dramatically increased sensitivity and delivers much more reliable sample data in seconds rather than minutes.
The information revealed by utilising the HyperDSC technique may go undetected with other conventional DSC methods.
The additional information provided could be vital in reducing drug time-to-market and product recalls.
