uWIN - University Continuing Education intensive
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. The training is particularly valuable for those engaged in preformulation studies, polymorph screening, crystal engineering, co-crystallization, and other materials science aspects of small organic compounds.
