DSCvesta
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 DSCvesta has several available options, such as a refrigerated cooling system, an automatic sample changer, sample observation, depending on the objective of the measurement.

DSCvesta Options
The following accessories are available for this product:
Safety cover for DSCvesta
Encloses the automatic sample changer and furnace to ensure safety during measurements.
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.
