Mettler toledo DSC3
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is the most frequently used thermal analysis technique. DSC measures enthalpy changes in samples due to changes in their physical and chemical properties as a function of temperature or time.
- Rugged MultiSTAR sensor with 56 thermocouples – detects the smallest and largest thermal effects
- Robust endurance-tested sample robot – operates efficiently and reliably around the clock
- Start the experiment with just One Click – fast and easy routine operation
- Simple FlexCal calibration – saves time and results in precise and accurate measurements
- Modular concept protects your investment – fulfills your current and future needs
- Wide temperature range – from –150 to 700 °C in one measurement
- Intelligent ergonomic design – simplifies instrument operation
