Detailed Description
The TA Instruments Discovery Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) measures temperatures and heat flows associated with thermal transitions in a material. Properties measured by TA Instruments’ DSC techniques include phase changes, glass transitions, melting, crystallisation, purity, heat capacity and oxidative stability. This information helps to identify processing and end-use performance.
