Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is the most frequently used thermal analysis technique. DSC measures enthalpy changes in samples, due to changes in their physical and chemical properties, as a function of temperature or time.
This video teaches you how to perform a DSC calibration and adjustment using the standard reference substance, indium. More specifically, you will learn how to:
- prepare a reference substance
- insert a sample into a DSC
- program and start a calibration in the thermal analysis software
- evaluate the resulting curve
METTLER TOLEDO's thermal analysis STARe software makes the process of calibration and adjustment simple for all DSC users.
