• Incomparable precision: the unique 3D Sensor totally surrounds your sample and reference crucibles so that the entire energy of any transformation is monitored thereby giving you an unequalled accuracy of measurement.
• Ease of operation: dedicated market leading CALISTO software that is not only intuitive but powerful enough to perform every typical experiments and data treatment.
• Parameter Independent Calibration: because of the 3D transducer the calibration of SENSYS evo is independent of: - mass and form (powder, fibre, liquid, etc.) of the sample, - contact between the sample and the transducer, - crucible type - sweeping gas (inert, oxidizing, reducing, wet, pressure) and flow rate.
• DSC measurement under High Pressure: two models of sealed "High Pressure" crucibles are available in which only the sample and not the sensor is pressurized, thus allowing for the calibration, baseline and sensitivity to remain unchanged.
• Large sample volumes: The working volumes of the crucibles (up to 250 ?l) are highly suited to the study of heterogeneous samples, or low-energy phase transitions. They are intended for analyses where the pressure generated by the sample remains low. Crucibles are available in alumina, aluminium, rhodiated platinum
3D DSC SENSOR The sample and reference sensors are composed of 120 thermocouples mounted in a cylinder that totally surrounds the measurement zone. These two cylinders can measure up to 94 % of all heat exchanged with the sample / reference, as compared to 20% typically (50 % absolute maximum) with 2D place sensors. The sensors are mounted in a calorimetric block that is further water cooled to eliminate any environmental variations and therefore giving you a highly precise and robust sensor with a unique level of specific sensitivity.
For studies at sub-ambient temperature, an automated cooling device utilizing evaporation of liquid nitrogen can be fitted onto the calorimetric unit. A simple and ingenious swivel joint system enables the transducer to be pivoted in complete safety to transform a horizontal SENSYS evo DSC into a vertical SENSYS evo DSC or a SENSYS evo TG-DSC in less than one minute! Whatever the configuration, the performance of SENSYS evo is unaffected.
Applications With its high precision and wide temperature range (-120 to 830 °C) the SENSYS evo DSC has a wide range of applications, especially in the fields of thermodynamics (Specific Heat Capacity Cp precision within +/-1 %), pharmaceuticals (phase diagram, polymorphism, purity, thermal stability), safety of chemical process(transition, decomposition under high pressure), energy(catalysis, hydrogen storage, hydrogen adsorption), polymers (glass transition, measurement under pressure), etc.
