No other DSC on the market offers more flexibility for studying thermal stability of almost any sample as a function of temperature or time. The calorimeter exploits ultra-sensitive Peltier technology for both temperature control and as sensors to detect heat effects. The scan rates are user adjustable from isothermal operation up to 2 °C per minute. The Peltier sensors give true microwatt detection independent of scan rate. The MC DSC runs one reference and three samples simultaneously in removable, Hastelloy ampoules sealed with O-rings to prevent loss of volatiles. The wide-mouth ampoule design allows easy cleaning and accommodates large pieces of solids and viscous liquids as well as suspensions and solutions. The O-ring seal provides a reliable, truly hermetic seal for pressures up to 15 atmospheres, sufficient to retain the vapor pressure of liquid water up to 150 °C. The Hastelloy ampoules are resistant to corrosion by aggressive solvents including concentrated acids and bases and are inert to biological materials such as proteins and lipids. The top covers are designed for easy access to the calorimeter cells which allows operation with high pressure, batch reaction, and probe accessible ampoules for a wide range of non-traditional applications
