I know that it uses high pressure to pass the sample mixture
through a column filled with some kind of material. So the components in the mixture will interact differently with the absorbent material leading to different flow rates for different components. Differential scanning calorimetry - I know that its a method used to study what happens to polymers when theyre heated up. o Differential scanning calorimetry is a technique we use to study what happens to polymers when they're heated. We use it to study what we call the thermal transitions of a polymer. And what are thermal transitions? They're the changes that take place in a polymer when you heat it. The melting of a crystalline polymer is one example. The glass transition is also a thermal transition. Stability testing is just a method to provide evidence on how the quality of an active substance or pharmaceutical product will vary with time under the influence of temp, humidity or light.
