Real workflows. Real challenges. Practical answers.
Explore short laboratory demonstrations covering real processing challenges and the decisions that shape material development, formulation and testing outcomes.
Eliminating a major bottleneck in polymer testing
Polymer processing | Lucivan Barros, Ph.D., Sr. Applications Scientist
See how an integrated compounding and injection molding workflow can reduce sample prep variability, minimize handling, and improve reproducibility for polymer testing workflows.
Struggling with pelletizing certain materials?
Polymer processing | Lucivan Barros, Ph.D., Sr. Applications Scientist
Some materials do not form stable strands and need to be handled in a smaller form. See how face-cut pelletizing can help process brittle, elastic, or high-viscosity materials directly at the die face.
Key decisions in twin-screw polymer compounding
Polymer processing | Lucivan Barros, Ph.D., Sr. Applications Scientist
Explore key decisions in twin-screw polymer compounding, from feeding and temperature control to mixing, cooling, and downstream processing.
About Live from the Lab Shorts
What happens when application science meets real laboratory challenges? Live from the Lab Shorts bring viewers into Thermo Fisher Scientific laboratories, where application specialists demonstrate practical techniques, examine processing tradeoffs, and explain the reasoning behind technical decisions. Each episode focuses on a specific challenge, helping scientists consider new approaches to their own workflows.
