DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETER
Characterize heat gain/loss associated with phase transitions
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measures energy changes in reactions such as melting, transition, crystallisation, and glass transition temperature, and is mostly utilised in polymer and pharmaceutical research and development.
The DSCs from Rigaku are heat-flux kinds. Depending on the maximum temperature and sensitivity differential, several models are available.
Depending on the measurement objective, the high-sensitivity type DSCvesta has numerous choices, including a refrigerated chilling system, an automatic sample changeover, and sample observation.
