DSC Analysis for Solid State Characterization

Differential Scanning Calorimetry is a key analytical method that measures heat changes in a material as a function of temperature. It is particularly useful for small molecule characterization, offering insights into:

  • Melting behaviors
  • Phase transitions
  • Polymorphism
  • Thermal stability
  • Crystallinity
 

DSC Process Overview

  • Sample Preparation: Accurate weighing and sealing of the sample in a specialized pan.
  • Temperature Control: Application of a precise temperature program, including heating and cooling.
  • Heat Flow Analysis: Measurement of heat flow differences between the sample and a reference.
  • Data Interpretation: Extraction of thermal properties such as transition temperatures and enthalpies from the thermogram.
 

Applications of DSC in Solid State Characterization

  • Polymorphism Identification: Analyzing different crystalline forms affecting bioavailability and stability.
  • Crystallinity Assessment: Determining crystalline vs. amorphous content, influencing dissolution rates and stability.
  • Melting and Decomposition Analysis: Establishing critical temperatures for formulation and storage.
  • Glass Transition Detection: Identifying amorphous regions in the sample.
