DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature.
The technique was developed by E. S. Watson and M. J. O’Neill in 1962 and was commercialized in 1963 by Perkin-Elmer. This instrument uses a feedback loop to maintain the sample at a set temperature while measuring the power needed to do this against a reference furnace. This allows for very precise control of temperature, very accurate enthalpy and heat capacity measurements, and true isothermal performance. Because of its direct measurement of heat ...
