DSC-60 Plus Series Differential Scanning Calorimeters by Shimadzu Corporation

As high-performance, general-purpose differential scanning calorimeters, the DSC-60 Plus Series offers high sensitivity and high resolution during analysis. The series is suitable for materials characterization in R&D and quality control applications in such areas as polymers, pharmaceuticals, electronic parts, and foods.

Key features include:

• High-Sensitivity Measurements with a Wide Calorimetric Measurement Range – the noise level, less than 0.5 µW when held at 150°C, enables measurement of the smallest calorimetric changes.
• Automated Measurement Improves Efficiency – with the same footprint as the standard model, the DSC-60A Plus model has a compact, built-in autosampler which enables automated measurement, analysis, and report printout for up to 24 samples.
• Sub-Ambient Measurements Using Standard Cooling Chamber – the cooling chamber installed as standard on the DSC-60 Plus calorimeters permits measurement down to -140°C using liquid nitrogen. For consecutive and cycled sub-ambient measurements, DSC-60 Plus models with auto-cooling systems are available.

The TA-60WS thermal analysis workstation is the interface between the DSC-60 Plus series and PC. It includes easy-to-use data acquisition, data analysis, and reporting software. In addition, up to four Shimadzu thermal analysis instruments of any type can be controlled simultaneously by each TA-60WS.

Software accompanying the TA-60WS thermal analysis workstation is available to comply with guidelines such as PIC/S GMP and electronic record and electronic signature (ER/ES) regulations, including US FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
