Principle
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase/decrease the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature.
Samples can be either solids or liquids.
Capabilities
- Melt Temperature
- Melt Enthalpy (latent heat of fusion)
- Crystallization Temperature
- Crystallization Enthalpy
- Glass Transition Temperature
- Specific Heat (Cp)
