DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) is a straightforward yet powerful technique used for investigating the thermodynamic properties associated with thermally induced transitions. The development of Differential Scanning Calorimetry began with E.S. Watson and M.J. O’Neill in 1962, and it became commercially available in 1963. With significant technological advancements, the applications of DSC have expanded significantly. This technique is now employed to analyze excipients, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), lipid-based drug delivery systems, polymorphism, the melting of biopolymers, interactions between DNA and proteins, and lipid-protein interactions among others. Furthermore, the utility of Differential Scanning Calorimetry extends beyond pharmaceuticals, with applications in cosmetics, medical devices, and the food industry. The main purpose of DSC is to investigate phase transitions.
DSC precisely measures thermal transitions, making it ideal for identifying melting points, phase changes, and reaction enthalpies.
Applied in pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and medical devices, DSC is versatile in assessing diverse material properties.
This technique is minimally invasive, allowing analysis without altering the sample’s structure.
