Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) provides quantitative information about the change in mass of a sample as a function of time or temperature. However, TGA cannot identify or characterize gaseous products that occur during the measurement. By combining mass spectrometry (MS) or Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) with TGA, it is possible to evaluate the properties of gaseous reaction products formed during TGA online. In this webinar, we will discuss the advantages of TGA-MS and TGA-FTIR systems and present several interesting applications.

Glass transition occurs in all amorphous or semi-crystalline materials and results in significant changes in material properties such as thermal expansion, specific heat capacity, and elasticity.

This webinar will explain the basic principles of glass transition and the various thermal analysis techniques and methods used to measure the glass transition point and its temperature.

In the pharmaceutical industry, an increasing number of manufacturers are utilizing the concept of Quality by Design (QbD) to enhance quality in various processes and maintain consistent quality in the final products. In drug manufacturing, weighing is a significant factor that greatly influences product quality, and it should be considered as one of the QbD processes. By watching this 20-minute short webinar, you can gain a deeper understanding of the factors that affect the accuracy of weighing. Be sure to learn why the weighing process should be treated as part of the overall QbD concept and how to effectively implement those processes.

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) can measure a wide range of viscoelastic properties of materials as a function of temperature and frequency. DMA is one of the most important thermal analysis techniques, alongside DSC, TGA, and TMA. DMA allows for the measurement of modulus values and can evaluate relaxation properties that are often undetectable by DSC. DMA provides quantitative and qualitative information on the following: - Young's modulus and storage modulus - Damping characteristics and viscoelastic behavior - Polymer structure and morphology - Flowability and relaxation properties Such information is extremely important for process and application engineers, materials researchers, and physical chemists. This web-based seminar (webinar) will present the basic principles of DMA and introduce several typical applications.

In the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, weighing significantly impacts the quality and efficacy of the final product. However, regulations related to weighing are often not clearly defined.

It is important to be accurate, close to the true value, and have high precision. There should be reproducibility of data within the measurement range. I believe that such expectations are always placed on your thermal analysis equipment. Calibration allows us to determine whether the module is providing correct measurements or if adjustments are needed. In thermal analysis, it is necessary to calibrate different parameters (for example, temperature, heat flow, mass, length, elastic modulus). In this webinar, we will explain the basics of calibration and adjustment, and provide useful tips and tricks.

Ozone is an effective disinfectant for water used in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Ozone rapidly destroys any microorganisms while preventing the generation of associated particles, thus disinfecting water. Ozone disinfection is an attractive alternative to energy-intensive thermal sterilization, as it essentially leaves no other decomposition products. To ensure reliable disinfection in pharmaceutical water systems, inline measurement and control of ozone are typically conducted at critical points. MetraTred Thornton provides reliable solutions in the field of ozone measurement, offering a wide range of highly convenient products tailored to the specific requirements of each customer. This webinar will cover the following topics: - Ozone measurement applications in water - Methods of ozone generation - Ozone control and monitoring - Probe technology - Calibration - Converters and sensors

Specific heat capacity (cP) is an important temperature-dependent physical property that is often cited in material specifications, data sheets, and so on. Specific heat capacity can be measured conveniently and reliably using DSC. It is crucial for improving technical processes such as injection molding, spray drying, and crystallization, and it serves as an important characteristic value for analyzing process safety in chemical reactions and the design of reaction vessels. In this webinar, we will explain six measurement methods for determining specific heat capacity and present several practical examples.

If the crystal size distribution is too large to meet the specifications of the subsequent process, it becomes necessary to crush the crystals. By designing small crystals in the crystallization process, it is possible to avoid the crushing treatment in the subsequent process, thereby improving yield and reducing energy consumption and safety issues caused by crushing. This webinar will explain how to create small crystals while establishing a scalable crystallization process to avoid crushing treatment.
