​​​​​​​​​​​

 

The three different differential​ scanning calorimeters are housed in the instrument room in the second target station (TS2) and in the ISIS Hydrogen and Catalysis Laboratory.


1. Mettler Toledo DSC1​

The Mettler Toledo DSC1 is located in the instrument room, located on ​the west side of ​​​​TS2​ (R80). The DSC1 is a fully automated thermal analysis instrument for investigating enthalpic changes in your samples.

  • Operating range from -150 to 700 °C

  • Liquid nitrogen cooling system for low temperature measurements

  • Argon purge gas

  • 34-position auto sampler with an internal reference position

  • Pre-programmed or entirely user-defined experimental methods​​

​2. TA Instruments DSC Q2000​

​​The TA Instruments DSC Q2000 is located in the instrument room, located on ​the west side of ​​​​TS2​ (R80).​ The DSC Q2000 is the second of our two research-grad​e thermal analysis instruments in the instrument room. 

  • Operating range from ambient to 450 °C​ (manual cold loading is possible)

  • Nitrogen & helium purge gas

  • Pre-programmed or entirely user-defined experimental methods

  • Thermal Advantage Platinum software for ease-of-use

  • Operating range: V​acuum to 69 bar​​
