Description

Cooling - Intercooler. Temperature range - 85 °C to 450 °C. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is the most widely used thermal analysis technique. DSC measures enthalpy changes in samples as a function of temperature or time, resulting from changes in their physical and chemical properties. In pharmacy and chemistry, it is used to monitor crystallisation, melting, oxidation and decomposition, evaporation, sublimation, reduction, as well as to determine the purity of raw materials and products and the polymorphic purity of samples
