Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) (Asset No:) Model: Perkin Elmer Diamond DSC

Type

- Hardware

Description

- Used for the characterization of materials in the polymers, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, electronics, rubber, food and other industries. - Types of thermal analysis measurement typically performed by DSC would be as follow: Melting, Crystallization, Glass Transition, Polymorphism, Purity, Specific Heat, Kinetic Study and Curing Reaction

Specifications

- DSC Type: Power-compensation temperature null principle. Measures temperature and energy directly, rather than differential temperature (DT). - DSC Cell: Independent dual furnaces constructed of platinum-iridium alloy with independent platinum resistance heaters and temperature sensors with furnace mass less than 1g. - Temperature Sensor: Distributed, Platinum Resistance Thermometers for best linearity. - Temperature Range: -170 C to 730 C - Calorimetry Accuracy / Precision: < +/- 1% / < +/- 0.1% - Scanning Rates Heating/Cooling: 0.01 C to 500 C/min - Cooling Option: Refrigerator (Intracooler) -70 C to 730 C - Autosampler: Can run up to 44 samples positions unattended. - UV Accessory: The Photocalorimeter Accessory extends the versatility for the analysis of photo initiated reactions. - Power Requirements: 100-240 Volt, 50/60 Hz
