Characterization of Polymorphic Transitions in a Pharmaceutical Drug by DSC and MDSC~(~R)

摘要

DSC is an excellent tool for characterizing crystalline drugs. However, just as with any other analytical technique, it should not be used without some thought being given to experimental conditions. Use of multiple heating rates is a good approach for detecting transitions in materials as well as their tendency to undergo kinetic processes as the sample is heated.
