Overnight moisture analysis of a PET pellet shows outstanding long-term instrument stability and high-sensitivity measurement.

Instrument Calendar:

  • DSC-Pyris 1

Key Features:

  • High sensitivity ultra-microbalance
  • Balance is thermally isolated from furnace
  • Fast cool down increases throughput
  • Efficient gas switching
  • Ion stream eliminates static drift
  • Isothermal balance controller
  • X-Y micro-alignment system for easy pan centering
  • Reaction gas injection port

Typical Applications:

  • Studying thermal transitions of solids and liquids
  • Thermal characterization of polymers, such as glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature and melting point
