Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is used to determine crystallization, melting, and solid/solid transitions in samples. Sample temperature, heat capacity and enthalpy of transitions are measured as a function of reference temperature.
Our lab uses two Mettler Toledo 822e DSC's. One is cooled via liquid nitrogen, while the other is cooled via an intracooler. Both DSC's are pictured below:
