Differential Scanning Calorimeter Cannon

Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) : NEXTA DSC series Cannon

The NEXTA® DSC series by Hitachi represents the latest advancements in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), offering remarkable sensitivity coupled with outstanding baseline stability. Designed with dual-source cooling systems and RealView® technology for real-time image observation, the NEXTA DSC excels across a broad temperature spectrum. This series supports full temperature modulated DSC, allowing for the separation of overlapping transitions and accurate specific heat measurements. Like all Hitachi thermal analysis instruments, the NEXTA DSC is known for its superior build quality and features a robust robotic autosampler.

This DSC series integrates cutting-edge technology to meet the rigorous demands of quality control and research across various industries, including polymers, inorganic materials, and pharmaceuticals.

Key Features:

• Unmatched Baseline Stability: Both the NEXTA DSC600 and DSC200 models utilize an advanced heat-flow sensor design, ensuring even heat distribution to both the sample and reference. This results in exceptional baseline stability, enhanced by a three-layered low-heat-capacity insulation system.
• Superior Sensitivity: The NEXTA DSC600 incorporates a proprietary thermopile-type DSC sensor, achieving high sensitivity of 0.1 µW or lower. This allows for the accurate measurement of even the smallest sample quantities.
• Extended Temperature Range for RealView® DSC: Equipped with a two-megapixel high-resolution camera, the RealView Sample Observation Unit enables visual observation from -50°C to room temperature and above. This feature is particularly useful for studying low-temperature phenomena such as crystallization and glass transitions.
• Temperature Modulated DSC for Specific Heat Capacity Determination: This method distinguishes between reversing and non-reversing heat flows, making it ideal for analyzing overlapping transitions or stress-relieved processes. Additionally, it simplifies specific heat capacity (Cp) measurements.
