Thermal effects can often occur simultaneously, IsoStep™ is a Temperature Modulated DSC (TMDSC) software option that can help evaluation of complicated DSC curves. A typical IsoStep™ temperature program consists of alternating dynamic and isothermal segments. This leads to the separation of the reversing (isothermal segments) and non-reversing (dynamic segments) thermal effects, as well as obtaining highly accurate specific heat capacity (cp) data.
IsoStep™ is a temperature-modulated DSC method that allows you to determine specific heat capacity and kinetic effects separately in a single DSC run. Overlapping thermal events can therefore be clearly distinguished. IsoStep™ provides a straightforward approach to the determination of heat capacities.
Features and Benefits
- Separation of reversing and non-reversing processes – separation of overlapping effects permits the very accurate determination of heat capacity
- Cp calculation based on DIN standard – sapphire reference material ensures accurate cp determination
