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)
