DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETER

DSC 214 Polyma (Netzsch)

The differential scanning calorimeter works on the basis of the heat-flux principle during thermal transformation.

Basic parameters and capabilities of the device:

  • temperature range from -170 ° C * to 600 ° C
  • heating / cooling rate: 0.001K / min to 500K / min (maximum heating / cooling rates depend on the temperature range)
  • Indu index (height to width ratio):> 100 mW / K
  • 20-position autosampler
  • the ability to test samples weighing from 5-200 mg (depending on the nature of the test substance)
  • enthalpy precision: ± 0.05% to ± 0.2% for most materials
  • MDSC temperature modulation

* IC70 (-70°C to 600°C) – intracooler, liquid nitrogen (-170°C to 600°C) in the case of analysis, the cost of liquid nitrogen must be added.

Application:
Determination of the temperature and thermal effects of endo- and exothermic transformations of various types of chemical reactions and phase transformations. The processes that can be studied by DSC techniques are: melting, crystallization, evaporation, sublimation, phase equilibrium, glass and polymorphic transformations, formation of inclusion complexes, compound formation, dehydration, isomerization, adsorption and decomposition.
