Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) quantifies the energy changes in reactions such as melting, transition, crystallization and glass transition temperature and is mainly used for research and development; and quality control in the fields of polymer, pharmaceutical.
Rigaku’s DSC are heat-flux types. Several models are available depending on the maximum temperature and sensitivity difference.
The high-sensitivity type DSCvesta has several available options, such as a refrigerated cooling system, an auto sample changer, sample observation, depending on the objective of the measurement.
