A new standard for differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) introduced by Mettler Toledo as the DSC 5 is engineered to provide laboratories with a superior performing and more productive tool.

The DSC 5+, equipped with FlexMode functionality, is the first DSC capable of measuring in two different measurement modes. This allows users to run DSC measurements to be carried out in either power compensation mode or heat flux mode, therefore optimizing the measurement conditions for the application needs. The optimized measuring cell design is thermally isolated from the environment, Source: Mettler Toledoproviding world-class enthalpy reproducibility and process capability accuracy.

The new three-axis sample robot enhances productivity, efficiency and reproducibility. The innovative gas-purged crucible chamber stores up to 96 sample crucibles and seven reference crucibles while protecting samples from any environmental influences. Two sample tray options handle crucible sizes ranging from 20 µL to 160 µL, making operation around the clock possible.

The DSC 5+ and STARe software both have a modular concept to ensure flexible functionality for current and future needs. With features such as timesaving 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 all laboratories, from industrial development and academic research to production and quality assurance.
