The Thermal Methods Research Unit at University of Huddersfield, UK, is using a Linkam DSC450 optical system to demonstrate the value of simultaneous thermal and optical analysis. This study was published in the Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry.
Investigating drug-polymer interactions using optical DSC
Researchers from the University of Hertfordshire’s School of Life and Medical Sciences collaborated with Linkam to provide an in-depth analysis into how the optical DSC450 and TASC can be used to characterise drug-polymer-excipient systems for pharmaceutical applications.

A Novel Thermal Microscopic Imaging Tool for Rapid Pre-Formulation Screening of Solid Dispersions
Studying Phase Transitions in Pharmaceuticals using Linkam’s DSC450 in combination with TASC.
Polymorphism in pharmaceutical solids has great implications on both the processing and the performance of solid pharmaceutical products. This app note details work from the School of Pharmacy at UCL using TASC with our DSC450 to characterise polymorphic transitions in the pharmaceutical active compound flufenamic acid .
A Thermal Analysis Technique That Combines Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Light Microscopy
TASC is a powerful technique to gain structural phase information, similar to DSC, from a range of our temperature control stages including the DSC450 and THMS600. This article discusses the advantages of this technique, with specific reference to its application in the analysis of polymer blends for drug delivery.
