Performance Specifications

• MultiSTAR Ceramic Sensor: Equipped with a highly rugged 56-thermocouple sensor arranged in a star-shaped layout around the sample and reference crucibles. This design guarantees flat baselines, high thermal conductivity, and outstanding resolution to detect the smallest thermal phase shifts. 

• Wide Temperature Range: Operates seamlessly across a wide measurement envelope from -150 °C up to 700 °C in a single dynamic system run.

• Intracooler Options: Can be paired with an electrical cooling module to rapidly bring sample environments down to -85 °C without liquid nitrogen. 

• FlexCal Calibration: Automatically adjusts parameters based on predefined calibrations, eliminating user bias, saving setup times, and boosting reproducibility.

Laboratory Automation & Hardware

• Continuous Sample Robot: Integrates an endurance-tested sample robot capable of processing up to 34 samples automatically. It operates efficiently 24/7, adapting to different crucible configurations and testing routines concurrently. 

• Hermetic Lid Piercing: Features an optional built-in accessory that cleanly pierces hermetically sealed crucible lids immediately before starting a run to shield samples from ambient environments prior to testing. 

• One Click™ Interface: Utilizing the device's main touchscreen terminal, operators can safely initiate predefined testing methods with a single touch, minimizing manual input errors

Measurement Applications

The instrument measures the difference in heat flow between a material sample and an inert reference to evaluate diverse chemical and mechanical physical transitions: 

• Glass Transition Temperature : Pinpoints when amorphous polymers shift from a brittle state to a rubbery state.

• Melting and Crystallization: Captures exact enthalpies, purity scores, and polymorphic transitions.

• Chemical Kinetics: Examines curing cycles, cross-linking reactions, and overall thermal stability profiles.

• Oxidation Behavior: Performs Oxidation Induction Time (OIT) evaluations inside specialized purging gas atmospheres
