H&M Analytical Updates Thermal Analysis Equipment

CREAM RIDGE, N.J., Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- H&M Analytical Services has recently upgraded their portfolio of characterization equipment, specifically in the area of thermal analysis.  Already a leader in X-Ray Diffraction services, H&M has upgraded their thermal analysis services with new thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) devices to achieve optimal testing results for our customers to become a more complete analytical testing laboratory.   

TGA is a common technique that can identify chemical or physical changes in a material based on weight loss due to temperature changes, such as removal of volatile materials like absorbed water.  This is a common methodology to examine the excipients in the pharmaceutical industry.  It's a requirement to understand how active Pharma ingredients will thermally react with numerous excipients when combined and TGA provides a relatively quick and easy method to determine this.  

DSC is utilized to determine phase transitions and heat capacities within materials.   This is a common testing technique for characterizing polymorphic materials to determine phase transitions such as melting points and is a standard test to ID unknown impurities within a material.  Both of these methods are very powerful and provide quick results to meet customer needs.

In addition to thermal analysis, H&M offers expert X-Ray Diffraction testing, high resolution imaging and particle size analysis.   We also are able to provide materials science consulting in a number of areas as the staff of PhD's are well versed in that area.  Part of any good characterization laboratory is to also provide some details on failure analysis and we strive to provide details in this area as well. 

For more information on our updated capabilities and services please call 609-758-5700 or visit our website at www.h-and-m-analytical.com.  Our experienced staff of scientists are more than happy to answers any of your analytical testing questions and to assist you with any materials based issues that your business requires.
