Flexibility can be an asset — but not for a substrate used in the manufacture of an extremely sensitive electromechanical (EM) device. Typically used in industrial machinery, medical devices, and consumer products, EM devices include mechanical and electrical components. Due to the critical nature of these devices, they usually require a high degree of structural […]

What is Chemical Analysis?
Chemical analysis can be used to determine a chemical’s identity or the identity of its components. To give some context to how chemical analyses can be used in manufacturing and production, here are some examples of chemical analysis methods and applications for them: Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry – GC/MS Analysis Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry is used to […]
How Safe Is Your Medicine?
Easter was just a few weeks ago, and if you have any chocolate bunnies left, you may unwrap them only to find their lustrous brown color has turned a dull, flat gray. Not very appealing, but the chocolate is still okay to eat — the gray coating is a result of sugar crystallization, and is […]
Uses For Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Differential scanning calorimetry is a process widely used for both quality testing and research in different industries. DSC is a technique to measure the difference in heat required to increase the temperature of a sample versus a known reference sample. Using this technique, researchers and scientists are able to gather critical data before, during and […]
