Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC Analysis)

DSC quantifies heat flow during thermal transitions such as melting, crystallization, and glass transitions. It yields data on transition temperatures, enthalpy, and thermal stability—essential for material performance analysis in research and industry.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analysis technique used to measure heat flow associated with material transitions as a function of temperature. It provides insights into melting points, glass transition temperatures (Tg), crystallization behavior, and thermal stability.

DSC is widely used in research and industry to characterize polymers, pharmaceuticals, food products, and metals. The technique helps identify phase transitions, assess material purity, and evaluate compatibility in formulations. It is suitable for solids, liquids, and powders.
