The development of freezing and freeze-drying processes for biological samples requires knowledge of the thermophysical properties of the biomaterial and protectant solutions involved. This chapter provides an introduction on the use of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to study thermophysical properties of biomaterials in protective solutions. It covers specific methods to study thermal events related to freezing and drying processes including crystallization, eutectic formation, glass transition, devitrification, recrystallization, melting, molecular relaxation, and phase separation.
