Abstract

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is frequently the pharmaceutical thermal analysis technique of choice because of its ability to provide detailed information about both the physical and energetic properties of a substance. This review provides an up-to-date overview of the applications of DSC in the drug development process. It should serve as a broad introduction to those starting work in this area, and also as a valuable reference for those already practising in this field.
