Studying Phase Transitions in Pharmaceuticals
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.

Researchers reveal high temperature stability of exotic silicon phases
Researchers in Australia using a THMS600 found that metastable silicon states achieved by indentation remained stable up to 450 °C. The research has clarified how these indentation-formed phases of silicon evolve through metastable structures such as r8-Si, to nanocrystalline phases such as hd-Si and Si-XIII.
