Read MoreWebinar: Adopting Molecular Spectroscopy Techniques in Pharma Manufacturing
Date: 7th September 2021 Time: 10.00 pm-11.00 pm (Malaysia Time) About this webinar: Pharma and biopharma manufacturing are under constant pressure to improve efficiency, increase productivity and reduce costs while still maintaining product quality. Molecular spectroscopy (Fourier transform infrared [FTIR], near-infrared [NIR], and Raman) are versatile, non-destructive, and green techniques that enable rapid…
Read MoreHOW TO TEST PLASTIC MATERIAL PROPERTIES?
Here is a list of common test methods used to evaluate plastics. They tell you how to check tensile and flexural properties, stiffness, impact, hardness, flammability, etc. Where applicable, ASTM specs are given as sources for more detailed information.
Read MoreMicroplastics Virtual Forum
Microplastics have been found in our oceans, drinking water, and food supply brought about by pollution and manufacturing practices. These particulates can be smaller than the eye can see, and their impact on our environment and our health need to be studied.

Read MoreWHAT IS DYNAMIC CONTACT ANGLE (DCA)?
When we talk about “Dynamic Contact Angle” (DCA), there are two quite different subjects that may be addressed:
– Time-Dependent Contact Angle (tDCA)
– Motion-Dependent Contact Angle (mDCA)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) FOR MELT FLOW INDEXER (MFI)
How Does Melt Flow Indexer Works? It heats and compresses thermo-softening resin, then measures resin extrusion rate through an orifice, under carefully carefully controlled conditions such as..
Read MoreOptimizing The Rheology of Pharmaceutical Formulations
Date: 16th June 2021 Time: 03.00pm-04.00pm (Malaysia Time) Webinar Overview: Formulating pharmaceuticals often involves balancing almost contradictory requirements, eg. a cream should not be too low in viscosity, but still spread well; nasal sprays should atomize fully, but at the same time remain in situ after application; injectable drugs need to be low enough…
