Perkin Elmer Diamond Differential Scanning Calorimeter
The Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) is used for different types of thermal
analysis experiments which include melting, crystallization, glass transition, polymorphism,
specific heat, kinetic study and curing reaction. The features include
- Very high sensitivity for the detection of weak transitions or small polymorphic forms
- Use of platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) for the measurement of sample temperature which provides better accuracy and reproducibility than thermocouples
- Power-compensation temperature null principle; measures temperature and energy directly, rather than differential temperature (DT)
- Independent dual furnaces constructed of platinum-iridium alloy with independent platinum resistance heaters and temperature sensors with furnace mass less than 1g
- Temperature range: -170 °C to 730 °C
- Calorimetry accuracy / precision: < +/- 1% / < +/- 0.1%
- Scanning rates heating/cooling: 0.01 °C to 500 °C/min
- Available cooling options are Intracooler 1P: -10 °C to 730 °C and Cryofill: -170 °C to 300 °C
