Chip DSC 100

Revolutionary sensor concept

Description

To the point

The Chip-DSC 100 combines the advantages of chip technology with the requirements of our previous DSC models.
Various options such as a sample robot, UV attachment and Raman spectroscopy make the Chip-DSC 100 a very versatile measuring device.

The chip technology enables high reproducibility and, due to the low mass, excellent temperature control and heating rates of up to 1000 K/min.

The integrated sensor is easily replaceable and available at low cost.
The integrated design of the chip sensor provides excellent raw data, enabling direct analysis without pre- or post-processing of the heat flow data.

Applications on the Chip-DSC 100 can be expanded using various accessories.
You can use various cooling systems in combination with a sample robot.
The sample robot is available with 96 positions.

Usual DSC vs. new chip technology

Chip DSC sensors

New chip technology

The world’s only chip DSC sensor with integrated heater and heat flux sensor.
Unsurpassed heating and cooling rates and time constants.

Benchmark resolution – precise separation of overlapping events

The unique sensor design enables excellent resolution and perfect separation of overlapping effects.

Modulated chip DSC with unsurpassed resolution

Highest sensitivity – for the detection of melts and weak transitions

The innovative chip design enabled us to develop a DSC sensor with the lowest possible mass.
This makes it possible to offer a heat flow DSC with an unsurpassed response rate.

Unsurpassed cooling speed – thanks to “low mass” chip sensor

Due to the low mass of our sensor, we can achieve unsurpassed cooling speeds, resulting in new applications and higher sample throughput.

Up to 80% less power consumption than conventional DSC devices

Optional accessories

To the point

High pressure differential scanning calorimetry – HP-DSC

The 50/150 bar high-pressure cell enables OIT stability tests to monitor the ageing of polymers, oils and greases.
Processes under high pressures can be simulated and optimized, e.g. sorption, chemical reactions, etc.

Optical DSC

The Chip-DSC 100 can be equipped with a CCD camera to observe the sample during the measurement.
The visualization of the sample gives a much deeper insight into phase transitions and decomposition processes

Photo DSC

The photo attachment enables measurements under UV light for investigating UV curing systems.
Due to the very short time constant of the chip sensor, fast UV curing reactions in the sub-second range can also be measured.

RAMAN DSC

Coupling the chip DSC with a Raman spectrometer can be realized very cost-efficiently.
The amorphous and crystalline phases can be detected very accurately and in situ in the Raman spectra.

Sample robot DSC

The sample robot for up to 96 samples significantly increases productivity.
The device can run automatically overnight or at weekends.
Together with the intuitive and intelligent software, it reduces your labor costs and saves time.

Low temperature DSC

Cooling can be realized with a variety of cooling options: Intracooler, liquid nitrogen cooling or a Peltier cooling system.
The available temperature range under sub-climatic conditions can be extended to -180°C.

Software

To the point

The new Platinum software significantly improves your workflow, as the intuitive data processing requires only minimal parameter input.
AutoEval offers the user valuable assistance in the evaluation of standard processes such as glass transitions or melting points.

Thermal Library Product Identification Tool, provides a database of 600 polymers that enables an automatic identification tool for your tested polymer.
Controlling and / or monitoring the instruments through mobile devices gives you control wherever you are.

Applications

Application example: Measurement of PET pellets

The chip DSC offers high resolution and sensitivity, making it an ideal instrument for this type of polymer analysis.
For example, a PET pellet was heated, cooled by quenching to freeze the amorphous state and then measured with the chip DSC at a linear heating rate of 50 K/min.
The curve shows a significant glass transition at 77°C, followed by recrystallization of the amorphous parts at 170°C and a melting peak at 295°C.
