Instrument: Thermal Analysis System DSC 3
Manufacturer: Mettler Toledo
General Description: The Mettler Toledo DSC 3 is a differential scanning calorimeter that measures heat flow changes in samples as they are heated or cooled. The instrument employs a thermocouple sensor design to detect thermal transitions including melting, crystallization, glass transitions, and oxidation events. Temperature control spans cryogenic to elevated ranges when paired with cooling accessories. The included 34 place sample robot enables automated sequential analysis. The system measures enthalpy changes associated with physical and chemical property changes, providing information about material thermal behavior. Software features facilitate method development and calibration procedures. The instrument serves applications in polymer characterization, pharmaceutical analysis, materials research, and quality control across multiple industries.
