Farmacologia e Toxicologia

Electron microscopy plays an integral role in research and development of new drug formulations. Structure, particle size, porosity and presence of contaminants have been responsible for the final activity of the drug.

  • Nowadays, a lot of research effort has been devoted to the development of sophisticated drug micro- and nano-carriers for controlled release and targeted delivery.
  • These substances are often based on polymer chemistry, which are often sensitive to the electron beam.
  • For these purposes, the TESCAN Triglav TM (maly nahore) FEG-SEM provides the highest resolution imaging even at low accelerating voltages.
  • For samples that cannot be prepared using standard methods or sputter coated with metals, users can take advantage of the variable pressure mode UniVac.
  • Using the Peltier cooling stage and Water Vapor Inlet System researchers can monitor dynamic processes such as crystallization or dissolution of the substance.
