METTLER TOLEDO's thermal analysis calibration and adjustment webinar explains why regular calibration and adjustment are important during the lifetime of your DSC, TGA, TMA or DMA instrument, and how time-saving FlexCal® calibration can be leveraged to achieve very accurate results under different or changing measurement conditions.
FlexCal
Depending on the thermal analysis system, different parameters need to be considered for calibration (e.g. temperature, heat flow, length and force), but these are not always available; if not found, STARe software's FlexCal® technology automatically estimates and applies the correct adjustment parameters to match the heating rate, purge gas and crucible type specified in the measurement method.
