Thermomicroscopy and Polymorphism in Theory and Practice
The seminar teaches practical skills and expertise for analyzing the solid-state properties of small organic molecules using a hot-stage microscope. It is designed for students, laboratory technicians, and experienced scientists working with the material properties of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or other fine chemicals.
Qualification profile
Graduates
have acquired experimental skills in hot-stage microscopy and complementary analytical methods
know how to implement hot-stage microscopy into experimental strategies in the solid-state characterization of drug substances and other materials
will gain a deep understanding of crystallization processes (nucleation, crystal growth)
know the nature of various solid-state phenomena, including polymorphism, solvates, hydrates, cocrystals, mesophases and phase transformations
know the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of crystal forms
Requirements
The training will particularly benefit those who deal with preformulation studies, polymorph screening, crystal engineering, co-crystallization and other materials science aspects of small organic molecules.
