| On Demand Webinar | Calibration in Thermal Analysis You expect that your thermal analysis instrument is always accurate, true and precise and delivers reproducible results within a given range. A calibration determines whether your module is delivering correctly measured values or needs an adjustment. In Thermal Analysis, different parameters must be calibrated (e.g. temperature, heat flow, mass, length, modulus). In this Webinar, we will discuss the basics of calibration and adjustment and give some useful tips and hints. |
| On Demand Webinar | Temperature Modulated DSC Techniques (TMDSC) Temperature-modulated DSC techniques (TMDSC) are widely used in thermal analysis in industrial and university research laboratories to separate overlapping temperature-dependent and time-dependent thermal effects. Methods used up until now have overlaid the isothermal temperature or heating ramp with a (usually) sinusoidal temperature modulation of just one frequency (single frequency method). In contrast, TOPEM® , the new advanced multi-frequency temperature-modulation technique, uses a large number of different frequencies (multi-frequency approach). The basic idea of TOPEM® is to overlay the isothermal or ramped temperature with a time series of stochastic (random) temperature pulses of different duration. |
