Cooling products are increasingly common in pet care. Researchers recently investigated reports of neurologic signs in dogs following ingestion of hydrogel from a commercial cooling pad.
How Analytical Testing Helped Identify a Plausible Cause of Canine Neurotoxicity
Fourteen dogs developed neurologic signs after ingesting hydrogel from a commercial cooling pet pad. When ASPCA Poison Control identified similarities across the cases, investigators sought to determine whether a component of the hydrogel could explain the clinical presentation. As a scientist at Cambridge Polymer Group and a co-author on this investigation, I was involved in […]
Smart Polymers: The Future of Controlled Drug Delivery
Characterizing Stimuli-Responsive Polymers for Targeted Drug Delivery and Controlled Release Stimuli-responsive polymers enable targeted drug delivery, but their performance is often difficult to predict, making rigorous analytical characterization essential to ensure reliable controlled release. These materials respond to environmental triggers such as pH, temperature, enzymatic activity, or redox conditions to control the release of active […]
