Hardware Options
High Pressure DSC
The high-pressure cell with a capacity of 50/150 bar provides a valuable tool for conducting OIT (Oxidation Induction Time) stability tests, essential for monitoring the aging of polymers, oils, and fats. This specialized cell allows for the simulation and optimization of processes under high pressures, including but not limited to sorption and chemical reactions, offering a comprehensive platform for research and development in various applications.
Optical DSC
The Chip-DSC 100 offers the option of equipping it with a CCD camera for real-time sample observation during measurements. Visualizing the sample provides a significantly deeper insight into phase transitions and decomposition processes, enhancing the understanding of these critical events.
Photo DSC
The Photo cell, designed for use under UV light, facilitates investigations of UV curing systems. Thanks to the remarkably short time constant of the chip sensor, it becomes possible to measure fast UV curing reactions even within the subsecond time scale. This feature is invaluable for capturing rapid processes in UV curing systems.
RAMAN DSC
The cost-effective coupling of the Chip-DSC with a Raman spectrometer enables precise, real-time detection of amorphous and crystalline phases in Raman spectra. This integration offers a powerful and budget-friendly solution for in-situ analysis of materials.
Sample Robot DSC
The sample robot, capable of handling up to 96 samples, substantially enhances productivity. This automation allows the instrument to operate autonomously, even during extended periods like overnight or weekends. Combined with the user-friendly and intelligent software, it effectively reduces labor costs and saves valuable time.
Low temperature DSC
Cooling can be achieved using a range of cooling methods, including intracooler, liquid nitrogen cooling, or a Peltier cooling system. These versatile cooling options extend the available temperature range at ambient conditions, allowing for cooling down to as low as -180°C.
Applications
Application example: Measurement of PET granulate
The analysis of polymers is a fundamental application of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Detecting key transitions such as glass transitions, melting points, and crystallization points can often be challenging. The new Linseis Chip-DSC stands out with its remarkable resolution and sensitivity, rendering it an ideal instrument for precisely this type of analysis.
As an illustrative example, consider a PET granulate. It was subjected to a controlled process: first heated, then rapidly quench-cooled to preserve the amorphous state. Subsequently, the sample was measured using the Chip-DSC, employing a linear heating rate of 50°C/min. The resulting curve reveals significant events in the polymer’s behavior, including a prominent glass transition at 77°C, followed by re-crystallization of the amorphous regions at 170°C, and culminating in a distinct melting peak at 295°C.
