This webinar will discuss three core techniques to optimise drug development through assessment of a material’s stability, composition, impurities, humidity effects, and thermal properties.
Thermal analysis is an excellent tool to characterise pharmaceutical materials and obtain quality control data.
The webinar will provide a brief overview about the different thermal techniques available for fast material analysis: thermogravimetric analyser (TGA), sorption analyser (SA), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC).
Our speaker will explore several applications, including glass transition, melting & crystallisation, change in heat capacity, compatibility, thermal stability and hydrothermal stability.
For example, attendees will learn how to select a material based on its hydrothermal stability and check the compatibility of an API and carrier material based on its heat capacity measurements.
Key learning points:
- Thermogravimetric analyser (TGA): determination of the thermal and oxidative stability, quantification of the composition, evolved gas analysis (EGA) to identify residual solvents, impurities, or decomposition products
- Sorption analyser (SA): stability under humidity, detection of phase transformations under humidity, hygroscopic classification.
- Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC): detection and quantification of amorphous and crystalline components, determination of purity, compatibility of active ingredient and carrier material, optimisation of freeze-drying processes.
