Differential Scanning Calorimetry
Technical Specifications


Model

VP-DSC, Microcal

Short Term Noise (RMS average from 5 °C to 110 °C)
1 µcal/min (0.07 uwatts)
Baseline Repeatability (successive scans from 5 °C to 110 °C) 2.5 µcal/min (0.2 uwatts)
Minimum Response Time 5 seconds
Operating Temperature Range -10 to 130 °C
Maximum Scan Rate - heating 90 °C/hour
Maximum Scan Rage - cooling 60 °C/hour
Scanning rate Heating: 0 - 90 °C/hour
Cooling: 0 - 60 °C/hour
Effective volume

0.5 ml in a tantalum alloy cell.
Stem volume is about 0.085 ml.

Pressurized Chamber 0 - 30 psi. Can reach to 80 psi with accessory pressure cap.
Signal Exothermic events will cause the DP signal to deflect in the negative direction. Vice versa for endothermic reactions.
Data Acquisition 16 bit A/D
