High Temperature Differential Scanning Calorimeter

Instrument URL: 
More details about this Instrument
The high temperature Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) from Netzsch is designed to measure thermal energy events from room temperature to 1400 °C. The instrument is capable of quantitative and qualitative measurements and can run in several gas environments.
 
Sample materials are held in crucibles made of alumina, graphite or platinum depending on the sample composition and reactvity. A crucible containing the sample and an inert reference crucible are then placed in the instrument chamber, on a platforms connected by a thermocouple. Tests are performed in a shared environment and thermodynamic properties of the sample material can be calculated by comparison

Access Procedure: 

All instruments are available for responsible users to test their own samples. Training is offered quarterly for the more complex instruments and users may self train on the other instruments any time. More information

There are specific insurance and liability requirements for off-campus facility users. They are described at this link: Non-UCSB Use of MRL Facilities

All people working in the TEMPO lab are required to follow good practice and to have already attended the UCSB EH&S Laboratory Safety Training. Contact Amanda Strom or 805-893-7925 for more information.
