The two basic methods used for reaction
calorimetry are heat flow (HFC) and heat balance (HBC).
In late 2000, the company signed an agreement with
Calorimetry Sciences to exclusively distribute its
calorimetry product line in Europe.
In the
calorimetry market, double-digit growth is occurring in the reaction
calorimetry and the ultrasensitivity
calorimetry sectors.
Reaction
calorimetry is a newer technique than bomb
calorimetry and is an ideal instrument for optimizing processes.
The phase diagrams of several blends which exhibited phase separation behavior were obtained by differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC) and small angle laser light scattering (SALS).
Milford, MA, 3/10/99-TA Instruments, a Waters' subsidiary, announced that the US District Court for the District of Delaware issued an order forbidding Perkin-Elmer from infringing, inducing infringement, or contributing to the infringement of seven claims of TA Instruments' patents relating to modulated differential canning
calorimetry. The order relates specifically to PE's Dynamic Differential Scanning
Calorimetry accessory and differential scanning calorimeters that incorporate a DDSC accessory.
An easy and very fast "screening test" for the evaluation of antioxidants is by DSC (differential scanning
calorimetry).
Baxter and COSMED, a designer of metabolic systems for clinical and human performance applications, announced an agreement to commercialize Q-NRG+, a metabolic monitoring device utilizing indirect
calorimetry technology.
This article discusses how existing high sensitivity
calorimetry systems can be adapted to obtain real-time
calorimetry data under continuous flow conditions.
Among his topics are a brief history of thermal analysis, general thermal analysis evaluations, differential scanning
calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, binary phase diagrams and purity determination, evolved gas analysis, and an overview of standard methods for thermal analysis.
