DSC 300 Caliris^® Classic

AutoEvaluation is an intelligent software allowing for the evaluation – self-acting or at the push of a button – of unknown curves. AutoEvaluation analyzes DSC curves by first recognizing any key effects such as Glass Transition TemperatureThe glass transition is one of the most important properties of amorphous and semi-crystalline materials, e.g., inorganic glasses, amorphous metals, polymers, pharmaceuticals and food ingredients, etc., and describes the temperature region where the mechanical properties of the materials change from hard and brittle to more soft, deformable or rubbery.glass transitions or melting peaks, and then properly interpreting side effects such as recrystallization effects in logical steps. For the first time, users have access to expert applications knowledge in the form of an intelligent software algorithm.

Identify is a unique software tool for the identification and classification of measurements via database comparison. In addition to allowing for one-on-one comparisons with individual curves and literature data, it also can check whether a particular curve belongs to a certain class. These classes can consist of curves of the same material type (material identification) or of reference curves for Pass/Fail testing (quality control). 

The NETZSCH libraries provide about 1300 entries related to different application areas such as polymers, organics, pharmaceuticals, inorganics, metals/alloys and ceramics. The also available KIMW* database includes the DSC curves for another 1150 commercially available polymer products. Users can expand Identify as desired, adding unlimited amounts of their own data. In general, all database entries serve as a pool of results and useful measurement conditions.

Proteus^® Search Engine's comprehensive search capability increases the efficiency and effectiveness of your data exploration and analysis tasks. It provides a number of convenient features to enhance  data handling. With the ability to directly access and sort data based on specific criteria, you can efficiently organize and navigate through your stored information. In addition, the system provides a preview feature that allows you to get a glimpse of your stored data without having to open individual files. This preview capability extends to measurements and analyses, allowing you to quickly evaluate their contents without the need for time-consuming file openings. In addition, the system provides powerful search capabilities that allow you to easily find data using various parameters such as instrument name, method, operator, file and signal type, date, measurement conditions, or evaluated effects. 

Calibration of the DSC instrument is a prerequisite for correct DSC measurements. It ensures that the instrument always measures within pre-defined parameters. The calibration process itself, however, should be simple, fast and – ideally – carried out right along with the process. The solution for this is AutoCalibration. This special software feature begins by offering pre-defined calibration methods for common standards, and then not only starts the calibration measurements but also – fully automatically – analyzes melting peaks, calculates calibration curves and even checks their validity. AutoCalibration thereby simplifies a routine task which can otherwise be very time-consuming.

In the pharmaceutical industry, compliance with regulatory standards is of utmost importance to ensure safety, efficacy and quality of drugs and medical devices. One very important regulatory framework is the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Proteus^® Protect is an option for all DSC Caliris^® 300 instruments and meets the technical requirements of 21 CFR part 11 (electronic records; electronic signatures).
