Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) measures the amount of energy (heat) absorbed or released by a sample as it is heated, cooled or held at a constant (isothermal) temperature. The precise measure of sample temperature is also made with a DSC. It is used for the calorimetric measurement, characterization, and analysis of thermal properties of materials. Types of thermal analysis measurement typically performed by DSC would be as follow: Melting, Crystallization, Glass Transition, Polymorphism, Purity, Specific Heat, Kinetic Study and Curing Reaction. The Diamond DSC is designed using the unique power compensation approach, which yields true heat flow measurements. Because of the very low mass (<1g) and independent furnace design of the power compensation approach, the Pyris Diamond DSC provides both the necessary very high sensitivity and unsurpassed resolution necessary for the measurement of polymorphism exhibited by pharmaceuticals.
