Differential Scanning Calorimeter
Perkin Elmer
Differential Scanning Calorimetry is a thermal analysis technique that measures the exchange of heat energy of any material during a physical or chemical change at constant pressure. The equipment measures the thermal behavior of a sample with respect to an inert sample which does not undergo any change upon heating over the specified range of temperatures. Thermal analysis of the sample can be studied under a controlled heating rate of a very high precision in a wide range of temperatures. These measurements will be carried out under inert environment. Flowing nitrogen gas will be used to achieve inert atmosphere. Oxidative properties can also be studied in flowing oxygen or air environment. The equipment is single-furnace design and uses heat-flux measurement principle. The equipment uses thermocouple-based temperature sensors. It has optional UV photocalorimeter accessory as well.

    The equipment can be used for several applications. A small list of applications are given below:
  • Glass transition temperature
  • Melting points
  • Crystallization time and temperatures
  • Heats of melting and crystallization
  • Percentage of crystallinity
  • Oxidative stabilities
  • Heat capacity
  • Purities
  • Thermal stabilities
  • Polymorphism
  • To test the quality of a product
