Understanding the thermal, chemical and mechanical stability and physical properties of polymers is essential for development success. The case studies below outline the experimental methodologies and data analysis using ARGEN™ to monitor polymer degradation and to characterize molecular weight as well as the effects of temperature, shear stress and solution conditions on the stability of...Read More

Biopharmaceutical companies isolate many types of proteins for use in experimental and therapeutic medicines. Unfortunately, when removed from their native environments, proteins become less stable. Unstable proteins are more prone to degradation from the primary stress mechanisms: mechanical and thermal (from manufacturing, storage and transport) and biological (from drug delivery). The challenge for biopharmaceutical companies...Read More
