Temperature modulated DSC techniques (TMDSC)
16 Jul, 2009 2pm EDT (USA)

Temperature modulated DSC techniques (TMDSC)
Temperature modulated DSC techniques (TMDSC) are currently used in the case of overlapping effects at universities but also in industry. TMDSC methods, in general, allow both temperature-dependent and time-dependent processes to be separated.
The basic idea of TOPEM® is to overlay the isothermal or ramped temperature with a time series of stochastic (random) temperature pulses of different durations.
Methods used up until now have overlaid the isothermal temperature or heating ramp with a (usually) sinusoidal temperature modulation of just one frequency (single frequency). In contrast TOPEM®, the new advanced multi-frequency temperature modulation technique, uses a large number of different frequencies (multi-frequency).

Gain Control of Liquid Formulations with Inline Particle and Droplet Measurements
Learn how to speed process development and ensure Quality by Design (QbD) by tracking particles and droplets in real time without sampling. Whether working with solid suspensions or liquid emulsions, particle/droplet distribution and stability are critical to ensure quality liquid formulations. However, inconsistencies often occur during development and scale-up due to changing raw materials, surfactants, or process dynamics such as homogenization, agglomeration/coalescence, and temperature gradients.  During this webinar, the application of in situ particle characterization techniques are demonstrated to track a series of suspension and emulsion formulations from oral suspensions to metered dose inhalants (MDI) and creams/lotions.
