Description
This product was developed to provide a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) with a broad temperature range (-150 up to 700°C) for all common applications. Furthermore emphasis was placed on a extremely stable baseline and high reproducibility. The conception of the cell guarantees a high mechanical and chemical resistance. It is a highly precise instrument and the principle of operation is based on heat flux between the sample and the reference.

Food
The three evaluated substances (Fructose, Glucose and Saccharose) show distinctive melting points. These melting points can be precisely determined by means of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). For this the analytical method is frequently used for the determination of unknown substances. Even mixtures with identical molecular weight such as Fructose and Glucose can thus be recognized.
Thermoplasts
PolyEthylenTherephtalat (PET) shows a significant endothermic glass point at about 77°C, which is quite special for partly crystalline thermoplasts. The relation between the exothermal cold crystallization at 131°C and the endothermic melting peak is a measure for the degree of crystallization of the material. In the case of (PET) the crystalline part is very small which results in a good transparency of the material.
