DSC8231
Differential Scanning Calorimeter
Characterize heat gain/loss associated with phase transitions
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) quantifies the energy changes in reactions such as melting, transition, crystallization and glass transition temperature and is mainly used for research and development; and quality control in the fields of polymer, pharmaceutical.
Rigaku’s DSC are heat-flux types. Several models are available depending on the maximum temperature and sensitivity difference.
The high-sensitivity type DSC8231 has several available options, such as a LN₂ cooling system, an automatic sample changer depending on the objective of the measurement.
DSC8231 Features
DSC8231 Specifications
| Technique | Differential scanning calorimetry | |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit | Characterize and quantifies the energy of a reaction associated with phase changes | |
| Technology | DSC is a thermal analysis technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature | |
| Attributes | Using this technique, it is possible to observe fusion and crystallization events as well as glass transition temperatures and can be also used to study oxidation, as well as other chemical reactions | |

DSC8231 Options
The following accessories are available for this product:
Gas Selector
Links to the measurement program and switches the gases flowing into the sample chamber.
Flow Meter
The flow meter controls the flow rate of the atmospheric gas (inert gas, air, etc.) supplied to the sample chamber.
2ch-FLOW COMPO Jr.
Enables gas flow, flow rate setting and switching of gases with precision specified in the measurement program. Gas types and full scale can be selected.
Sample Pan
Depending on the sample to be measured (especially if the sample is metal), it may melt the sample pan and damage the sample holder or other parts of the instrument.
Sample sealer / Sample crimper
A sample pan shaping tool with three functions: sample crimper, sample sealer, and high-pressure sample sealer.
