Chip DSC 1

Patented, revolutionary sensor concept

Description

To the point

The new chip DSC 1 integrates all essential parts of the DSC, heater, sensor and electronics in a miniaturized housing.
The chip arrangement consists of a heater and temperature sensor in a chemically inert ceramic arrangement with a metallic heater and temperature sensor.

This arrangement enables high reproducibility and, due to the low mass, excellent temperature control and heating rates of up to 100 K/min. The integrated sensor is easily replaceable and available at low cost.

The integrated design of the chip sensor provides excellent raw data, allowing direct analysis without pre- or post-processing of the heat flow data.

The compact design leads to a significant reduction in production costs, which can be passed on to our customers.
The low energy consumption and unsurpassed dynamics result in the unrivaled performance of this revolutionary DSC concept.

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.

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.

Applications

Fast cooling rates with the chip DSC

The Linseis chip DSC enables the fastest possible cooling rates without the need for an active cooler.
Due to the low thermal mass and the innovative sensor design, cooling rates of up to 200 K/min from the maximum temperature to 100°C and up to 50 K/min from 100°C to room temperature are possible.
When starting ballistic cooling from a 400°C isothermal segment, 50°C is achieved in less than 3 minutes measuring time.

Measurement of PET pellets

A PET pellet was heated, cooled by quenching to freeze the amorphous state and then measured using chip DSC with a linear heating rate of 50 K/min.
The curve shows a significant glass transition around 80 °C, followed by crystallization of the amorphous parts from 148 °C and a melting peak at 230.6 °C.
