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.

PrincipleHeat-Flux DSCInquireThe measurement principle of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is based on monitoring the difference in the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a sample and a reference material at the same rate. Because the sample and reference are exposed to identical temperature conditions, any difference in heat flow between them is measured. This difference indicates that the sample is undergoing physical or chemical changes such as melting, crystallization or chemical reactions that either absorb or release heat.Inquire
