DSC Characterization Of Crystalline Structure In Pharmaceuticals: Detecting Drug-Excipient Incompatibility

This webinar on “Detecting Drug-Excipient Incompatibility” is part three of a three-part series on use of differential scanning calorimetry to characterize crystalline structure of foods and pharmaceuticals. Here, we focus on how the apparent melting approach can provide a rapid screening protocol for detection and analysis of drug-excipient incompatibility in mixtures and formulas. The approach of apparent melting provides an opportunity to create a rapid screening tool with significant advantages over traditional methods that require long-term oven aging and chemical analysis.
