Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Differential Scanning Calorimetry can be used to characterise and compare materials; identify and confirm purity, assess thermal stability and evaluate product-application conditions.
Injectable hydrogels for IVD regeneration
Hydrogels are crosslinked polymers that contain large amounts of water. We have developed a novel hydrogel loaded with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) which can be maintained as a liquid ex vivo and be injected into the affected tissue site where body temperature triggers in situ gelation.
Polymer characterisation - hydrolytic degradation of PET
The degradation of polymers by UV, heat, moisture or γ-irradiation is of significant importance in many different spheres of life
