Linkam’s optical DSC600 is a single cell calorimetry system which overcomes the problem of baseline drift due to different heat flows into the sample and reference crucible. Key features include:
Smaller furnace results in faster response time
Compact size of the stage means it can be easily mounted on to FT-IR and Laser Raman and confocal microscopes
Suitable for reflected and transmitted light studies
Simultaneous optical and enthalpy change data
Heating and cooling to temperatures between < -195°C (when used with the LNP96 Liquid Nitrogen Pump) and 600°C can be carried out at rates of up to 130°C/min
The system consists of the DSC600 stage, a T96 controller and LINK software. The optional LNP96 is required to achieve temperatures down to < -195°C.
Wide temperature range < -195°C to 600°C
Up to 130°C/min heating
Minimum heating rates of 0.1°C per minute
Temperature stability <0.1°C
