FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSD ifferential 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. While DSCs are manufactured in several variations, PerkinElmer is the only company to make both single- and double-furnace styles. We have manufactured thermal analysis instrumentation since 1960, and understand applications better than anyone in the industry.
instruments. Historically, temperature transitions in materials were first seriously studied by the ceramic industry in the 1800s using differential thermal analysis (DTA). This early work was done by placing a thermometer into a material and heating it in an oven, similar to the way a meat thermometer is used. There were some seri-
