Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
DSC 8000 (PerkinElmer)
Device Description
It is based on measuring the amount of energy absorbed or released as a function of time and/or temperature while materials are cooled, heated, or held at a constant temperature under a specific atmosphere.

DSC is a widely used analysis method in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It is used to determine the thermal properties of polymers, elastomers, metals, alloys,
ceramics, food materials, pharmaceuticals, and similar materials.
- Glass transition temperature
- Melting and crystallization temperature
- Melting and crystallization enthalpy
- Degree of crystallization of polymer materials
- Oxidation induction time of polymers
- Heat capacity
- Phase transitions
