Name of the equipment: Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) Make & Model: TA Instruments, DSC Q20 I-Stem Registration ID: 3245420 Category of Instrument Thermal Analysis Types of Analysis / Testing Characterisation & Testing Application: Glass Transition, Phase Transition, Crystallization, Melting Point. Description of Instrument DSC measures how much heat a sample absorbs or releases as its temperature changes. It helps in detecting thermal transitions by comparing heat flow between a sample & a reference
