Live Webinar: Calibration and Adjustment in Thermal Analysis

Principles and Key Procedures for Ensuring Reliable Results

Przegląd programu

  • Why do you need to calibrate and adjust your instrument?
  • Definitions explained
  • Calibration procedures and how to choose the right reference substances
  • Adjustment procedures according to your instrument (DSC, TGA, TMA, or DMA)
  • FlexCal™ – Discover METTLER TOLEDO’s timesaving adjustment feature

Regular calibration and adjustment are essential to help ensure the accuracy and integrity of your results. Temperature needs to be calibrated for all instruments, but additional parameters should also be calibrated, according to the instrument type. For example, heat flow for differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), weight for thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA), displacement in thermomechanical analyzers (TMA), and modulus for dynamic mechanical analyzers (DMA).

When Is Calibration Required?

  • For new instruments
  • For instruments in operation (at predefined, regular intervals)
  • When an instrument has suffered an impact or vibrations which may affect the adjustment
  • Whenever observations appear questionable
