• Melting Temperatures and EnthalpiesThe enthalpy of fusion of a substance, also known as latent heat, is a measure of the energy input, typically heat, which is necessary to convert a substance from solid to liquid state. The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid (crystalline) to liquid (isotropic melt).Melting temperatures and enthalpies (heats of fusion)

• Degree of Crystallinity / Degree of CrystallinityCrystallinity refers to the degree of structural order of a solid. In a crystal, the arrangement of atoms or molecules is consistent and repetitive. Many materials such as glass ceramics and some polymers can be prepared in such a way as to produce a mixture of crystalline and amorphous regions.crystallinity

Ideal for Quality Assurance, Routine Tasks and Education!

Knowledge about a material's behavior under changing temperature and different atmospheres is of fundamental importance for many application fields. The DSC 300 Caliris^® supports material identification, process optimization, quality control, phase diagrams, kinetic analysis and compatibility.

This NETZSCH DSC instrument stands out for its robustness and attractive price-performance ratio as well as for its compactness and user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for the quality assurance of polymers, food, cosmetics and other organic materials.It is best suited for routine measurements in the range from -170°C to 600°C, for industry and contract testing laboratories.

The DSC 300 Caliris^® Classic can be equipped with various accessories and extensions for optimum adjustment of the system to your requirements.

Various cooling systems can be applied to cool the furnace, either back to room temperature via compressed air or down to -170°C by using liquid nitrogen cooling. The cost-efficient intracoolers offer an alternative to liquid nitrogen cooling and make it possible to run measurements between -40 to 600°C (IC40) or -70°C to 600°C (IC70).

For investigation of the oxidative stability (e.g., Oxidative-Induction Time (OIT) and Oxidative-Onset Temperature (OOT)Oxidative Induction Time (isothermal OIT) is a relative measure of the resistance of a (stabilized) material to oxidative decomposition.

A wide range of crucibles/pans (aluminum, copper, silver, platinum, stainless steel for pressure applications, etc.) is available for nearly all possible applications and materials. For all cold-weldable aluminum pans and the medium-pressure stainless steel crucibles, exchangeable toolkits for the sealing press are existing.

A photocalorimeter or UV-DSC is the right instrument to study Curing (Crosslinking Reactions)Literally translated, the term “crosslinking“ means “cross networking”. In the chemical context, it is used for reactions in which molecules are linked together by introducing covalent bonds and forming three-dimensional networks.curing reactions initiated by irradiation (UV or light). In the DSC 300 Caliris^® with optional UV accessory, the light guides are permanently installed in the automatically moving furnace lid, making the DSC immediately ready for UV measurements.  

For high throughput applications and routine applications, an automatic sample changer (ASC) is available for up to 20 samples and references. The gripper safely removes the crucible from the magazine and gently places it in position on the sensor. The reference crucible can also be changed as often as the application requires.

Standard Crucibles (Pans) Made of Aluminum for the DSC 300 Caliris^® Classic

* Crucible (pan) volumes of either 25 μl or 40 μl can be achieved by simply reversing the lid.
** One and the same sealing press is capable of sealing all standard Al crucibles (pans); order no. 6.240.10-80.0.00A.
