May 19, 2011 — METTLER TOLEDO launched the Flash Differential Scanning Calorimeter (FDSC), which enables materials studies over a temperature range from -95ºC to +450ºC in one measurement.
Scientists can use the tool to evaluate crystallization and reorganization processes of materials, for example, how materials respond to rapid cooling in modern high-speed production processes. The FDSC operates at extremely high cooling (-4,000ºC/sec) and heating (40,000ºC/sec) rates. Very fast cooling and heating rates allow researchers to generate material under real process conditions (on cooling) and then measure those material properties (on heating).
The Flash DSC 1 opens the door to the wider experimental parameters required to investigate the meta-stable and time-dependent transitions of materials.
