Make and Model:
• Make: Rigaku
• Model: DSC Vesta
Description:
The Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) is used to quantify the energy changes occurring during phase transitions, such as melting (Tm), solid-solid phase transitions, crystallization (Tc), and glass transition (Tg) temperatures. It is widely employed in research and development as well as quality control, particularly in the fields of polymer science, pharmaceuticals, and glass research.
Features:
• High Sensitivity and Performance:
The compact furnace provides high sensitivity, performance, and low noise, ensuring precise measurements.
• Efficient Gas Substitution:
The design enables quick and efficient gas substitution, further improving analysis accuracy.
• Enhanced Heating and Cooling Rates:
Remarkable heating and cooling rates enhance the efficiency of the measurement process, reducing overall time.
• Wide Temperature Range:
The instrument measures temperatures from -150°C to 700°C, with an optional cooling unit available for sub-ambient temperatures.
