Mettler Toledo has announced the new DSC 5+ differential scanning calorimeter.
The new system brings new performance and automation upgrades to the Mettler ToledoDSC instrumentation.
Equipped with FlexMode functionality, the DSC 5+ is the first DSC capable of measuring in two different measurement modes. This allows users to run DSC measurements in either power compensation mode or heat flux mode, optimizing measurement conditions for the application needs. The optimized measuring cell design is thermally isolated from the environment providing superior enthalpy reproducibility and cp accuracy.
The new three-axis sample robot enhances productivity, efficiency, and reproducibility. The gas-purged crucible chamber stores up to 96 sample crucibles and seven reference crucibles while protecting samples from environmental influences. Two sample tray options handle crucible sizes ranging from 20 to 160 µL, enabling round-the-clock operation.
The DSC 5+ and STARe software both have a modular concept to ensure flexible functionality. With features such as time-saving FlexCal™ adjustment, and autonomous result evaluation with the AIWizard™, the STARe software can be configured to create fully automated solutions. This makes it an ideal choice for laboratories from industrial development and academic research to production and quality assurance.
