Drug Delivery
The mechanical properties of drug delivery systems based on soft polymers are directly related to their nanostructure which in turn correlate with their ability to store or release therapeutic agents. Due to their soft nature, the precise and continuous mechanical evaluation of these systems is often challenging with conventional instruments when it comes to follow their degradation over time.
Here, we introduce the ElastoSens™ Bio to monitor the bulk or surface degradation of soft-polymers based drug delivery systems. This revolutionary testing technology measures the viscoelasticity of soft materials without contact, non-destructively and using detachable sample holders. These unique features allow the monitoring of soft-polymer degradation over long periods. The resulting viscoelasticity data can then be correlated to the amount of therapeutic agents released by the drug delivery system.
