The FTIR600 stage is used to measure IR spectra at variable temperatures, and transformations between polymorphs followed in situ by heating and cooling the samples in the chamber.
Unravelling the complexities of freeze-drying pharmaceuticals with advanced microscopy techniques
Linkam’s FDCS196 is used by researchers at NIBSC and the University of Strathclyde to predict freeze-drying conditions for liposome-cryoprotectant mixtures (drug delivery systems), using light microscopy with a cryostage.
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
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 .
