This is an introduction to case studies of pharmaceutical analysis by a specialist in analysis. This time, we will look at the pharmacokinetics of suppositories and the viscoelastic measurement of hair wax.

TA Instruments handles a viscoelastic measurement device called a "rheometer." In this article, we will introduce examples of viscoelastic measurements of familiar pharmaceutical cosmetics, specifically suppositories and hair wax, along with an easy-to-understand model of the measurement process. ◆ Softening Behavior of Suppositories in the Body For suppositories that are injected and used within the body, the viscoelasticity at storage temperature and body temperature greatly affects product performance. Therefore, we conducted temperature-dependent viscoelasticity measurements on two types of suppository samples. ◆ Application Feel of Hair Wax and Creep Recovery Test It is common to see a wide variety of hair waxes displayed, catering to different hair types and desired hairstyles. When you pick them up, each has a different feel, suggesting variations in viscoelasticity. Using a rheometer, we can quantitatively evaluate basic viscoelastic indicators such as elasticity and viscosity. Additionally, as introduced below, we can assess the stretchability and holding power of hair wax through a measurement mode that simulates the application process on hair (creep recovery test).

This is an introduction to medical-related analysis cases by a specialist in analysis. This time, we will present measurement cases of mechanical properties and fatigue tests that are useful for evaluating the pericardium.

This time, TA Instruments introduces the "ElectroForce Series," a fatigue testing machine. In this article, we will present a case study on the evaluation of the mechanical properties of pericardium using a planar biaxial testing machine, related to cell culture and medical applications. ❖ Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of Pericardium Using a Planar Biaxial Testing Machine The pericardial tissue was attached to the planar biaxial testing machine, and equal displacements were applied to each axis to measure the load. It was found that the load at a larger displacement was greater on the 90° axis than on the 0° axis, indicating that the mechanical properties of the measured pericardial tissue exhibit anisotropy. ■ Load Capacity: 200N, 400N ■ Motor: ElectroForce Linear Motor ■ Displacement Range: 13mm ■ Control Functions: Load, Displacement, Strain Control ■ Mounting Options: Horizontal or Vertical ■ Accessories: Physiological Saline Bath, Multi-Axis Load Options ■ Test Profiles: Single push-to-failure, pull-to-failure, repetitive loading, creep/stress relaxation measurement
