Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry)
Thermal Property Analysis and Phase Transition Investigation
TA Instruments Q20 DSC device
Description
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analytical method for performing heat analysis; measures the amount of energy absorbed while the sample is being heated, cooled, or held at a constant temperature. DSC is following the same principle of measurement as DTA. The main application areas of DSC are studies on phase changes such as exothermic and endothermic decomposition. DSC is used to measure thermal changes such as specific heat capacity, phase change temperature, and reaction temperature.
