Introduction
Thermal analyzers are widely used in various material fields. Specifically, the DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter) is an essential tool for investigating glass-transition temperature and melting points of polymers and pharmaceuticals. In 2017, Rigaku released DSCvesta®, which had a higher sensitivity, better stability, and wider measurement-temperature range than earlier models. Recently, Rigaku has developed its upper model, DSCvesta2, with a newly designed thermal sensing plate to improve the DSC performance even further.
