Abstract Content

Differential Scanning Calorimetery was used to study the decomposition of several pharmaceuticals using UV light in accelerated testing. The superior temperature control of power compensation DSC was exploited to remove any temperature affects from the testing. Preliminary results with UV-DMA will also be presented.
