Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC)
Perkin Elmer 6000 DSC
- Single Furnace
- Temperature range: -65oC to 440oC (by using Intracooler system)
- Accuracy: +/- 0.1oC
- Precision : +/- 0.02oC
- Controlled heating rates: 0.1 to 100oC/min
- Controlled cooling rates: 0.1 to 100oC/min
DSC is used widely:
for examining polymeric materials to determine their thermal transitions
for drug, oxidative stability, general chemical (freezing-point depression) analysis
