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.

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 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.

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.
