FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSDifferential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) PerkinElmer 's DSC FamilyA Beginner's Guide This booklet provides an introduction to the concepts of differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC). It is written for the materials scientist unfamiliar with differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) is a fundamental tool in thermal analysis . It can be used in many industries from pharmaceuticals and polymers, to nanomaterials and food products. The information these instruments generate is used to understand amorphous and crystalline behavior, polymorph and eutectic transitions, curing and degree of cure, and many other material properties used to design, manufacture, and test products.
