Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC Instrument)

Differential scanning calorimetry analysis provides insight into critical physical properties of materials by testing their response to heat. The heating of both a sample and reference material provides a validated relative temperature response and heat capacity. These furnace-based systems are perfect for studying unique phase-change properties, such as with liquid crystals, determining quantitative enthalpy of materials, or testing the elasticity of products exposed to extreme temperatures and/or pressures. Differential scanning calorimeters offer temperature ranges as low as -180C and as high as 2400C, with the highest available heating rate at 300 K/min for DSC analysis. The principle models utilize heat flux systems, corrosion-free silver furnaces, or cylindrical high-conductivity silver block units, among others. The customer should keep an eye out for a differential scanning calorimeter that suppresses or prevents overlapping vaporization and/or simulates realistic temperature and pressure conditions.
