Thermal & Structural Analysis
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Measures the difference in heat required to change the temperature of a sample and a reference. Endothermic or exothermic peaks mark phase transitions such as melting, crystallization, glass transitions, and curing reactions.
Sample requirements
- Samples must be non-explosive.
- Minimum sample quantity: 0.1 g, in an Eppendorf tube placed in a ziplock bag.
- Only solid, powder, or sheet-form samples are acceptable.
- State temperature range (°C), environment (air / N₂ / Ar), and any other requirement.
Temperature range and atmosphere are required on the proforma.
