THERMAL ANALYSIS
Thermal analysis is a group of techniques in which the physical-chemical properties of a substance, or its reaction products, are measured as a function of temperature.
Monitoring thermochemical events or the weight loss suffered by a particular element when subjected to variations in heat is fundamental to characterize the solid form, and to provide information on the polymorphic changes or on the sample's degradation pathways.
NanoBusiness offers solutions in Thermal Analysis using the main methods:
DIFFERENTIAL SCAN CALORIMETRY (DSC)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is the thermal analysis used to measure the difference in heat flow between a given substance and reference, as a function of temperature.
It is widely used to determine sample purity, degradation profile, melting point, recrystallization, glass transitions, among other applications. In the pharmaceutical segment, it can also be used to identify polymorphism and in compatibility studies between the formulation constituents.
THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS (TGA)
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) is the technique that determines the sample's mass variation as a function of temperature or heating time, in a controlled environment.
It is used in various analyses, such as water determination, volatility and ash composition, decomposition kinetics, oxidative thermal degradation of substances, and other options.
At NanoBusiness, we carry out qualitative or quantitative tests using analytical testing services (data only), as well as results analysis (interpretation).
