Thermal Behavior Analysis of API and Polymers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DSC was conducted to check the thermal behavior of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), pure polymers, and ocular inserts. The instrument used for analysis was Discovery 25 differential scanning calorimeter (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA). The sample was heated from 25 °C to 160 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C/min under a nitrogen atmosphere (50 mL/min). The samples (approximately 4–5 mg) were weighed in aluminum pans and hermetically sealed while an empty pan was used as a reference.

Thermal Properties of Starch-Water Suspension

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The thermal properties of LRS samples were determined using a Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) (Discovery-25, TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA). A starch–water suspension having 70% water was loaded into a 40 µL aluminum pan, hermetically sealed, and equilibrated for 1 h at room temperature. The sample pan was then heated from 20 to 250 °C at a rate of 10 °C/min. The onset temperature (To), peak temperature (Tp), conclusion temperature (Tc), and gelatinization enthalpy (∆Hgel) were all determined automatically.

Thermal Analysis of Polymer Films

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Differential scanning calorimetry of film samples was performed on DSC (Discovery-25, TA Instruments, New Castle, Delaware, USA). The film sample (8–10 mg) was cut into small cuts, weighed in an aluminum pan, and sealed hermetically. An empty pan was used as a reference. The samples were analyzed over a temperature range of 20 to 200 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and enthalpy of melting (ΔHm) were determined from the resulting thermograms.

Thermal Analysis of Filler-Binders

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The solid state transitions in the filler-binders were determined by using modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC, Discovery 25, TA Instruments, Zellik, Belgium). This technique separates the total heat flow into reversing and non-reversing signals. Heat capacity related events like glass transition and melting point are displayed in the reversing signals. However, kinetic events like reorganization, enthalpic recovery, water evaporation, decomposition, crystallization and crystal perfection are displayed in the non-reversing signals. A mass between 4,0 and 10,0 mg of each filler-binder was placed in preweighed Tzero pans (TA Instruments, Zellik, Belgium). An empty Tzero pan was used as reference. The heat run was specific for each filler-binder, started at -40 °C and ended at their degradation temperature, which was analyzed by using thermagravimetric analysis (TGA Q50, TA Instruments, Zellik, Belgium). The heat run was set at 10 °C.min -1 and the modulation period and amplitude were rated at 1 min and 1,60 °C, respectively. The heat flow signals were obtained and analyzed by Trios software (TA Instruments).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
