Live Q&A session

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is used to study the behavior of materials as they respond to a defined temperature program. The technique measures the heat, in mW, absorbed or released by a sample as it is heated, cooled, or held at a constant temperature. Measurement results are presented in the form of a curve, from which the glass transition, crystallization, melting, and many other thermal properties can be determined.

The DSC technique has applications in a wide range of industries. For example, checking the “fingerprint” of a measurement curve is a common application for quality control purposes. Other applications include investigating the influence of additives or different processing methods on a substance.

Mettler Toledo's DSC 5+ sets a new standard in differential scanning calorimetry. Its superior performance pushes the boundaries of DSC analysis for the measurement of the most challenging applications. Its unrivaled modular concept provides tailor-made solutions for your current and future needs. And many new design features will make your lab life easier. Mettler Toledo's new sensor, the MMS1, is equipped with 136 thermocouples and allows the user to choose between the power compensation or heat flux measurement modes. The unique power compensation mode gives outstanding resolution for the separation of close-lying effects, while the heat flux mode results in exceptional sensitivity, enabling the successful measurement of weak transitions. In addition, the entirely new measurement cell ensures exceptional enthalpy reproducibility and accuracy of specific heat capacity determination. For the first time in DSC history, electrical heat flow adjustment is available for the entire temperature range. This means no reference substances are required, which eliminates operator bias, saves time, and provides superior measurement accuracy. The DSC 5 Plus is equipped with a new sample robot with 96 sample and 7 reference crucible positions, allowing you to perform more experiments in a shorter time with less resources. To protect the samples from the environment, the sample trays are stored in a gas purge chamber. Special crucible lids can be automatically pierced or removed before the measurement takes place. Part of any thermal analysis system is the STAR-E software, offering nearly limitless evaluation possibilities. The revolutionary artificial intelligence solution, AI Wizard, autonomously evaluates and identifies all thermal effects for a fully automated analysis. Innovative technology, increased performance, and a more productive DSC. Thermal Analysis Excellence is the perfect solution for unbeatable DSC performance.
