The DSC 25P is a dedicated Pressure DSC module that provides heat flow measurements on pressure sensitive materials. The Discovery DSC 25P is used to study thermal transitions, chemical reactions and oxidative stability/ decomposition under vacuum, standard atmospheric pressure and elevated pressures. It measures a materials’ heat flow in a variety of inert, oxidizing or reducing atmospheres. The DSC 25P has a pressure range of 1 Pa to 7 MPa (0.0001 to 1,000 psi) of which experiments can be performed under static or dynamic purge (constant volume or constant pressure). The Discovery DSC 25P can operate under atmospheric and elevated pressures from ambient to 550 °C. The optional Quench Cooling Accessory for the FACS extends the operational temperature range of the DSC 25P down to -130°C.

Nano DSC is a high-resolution method for quantifying the thermal stability of large biomolecules and biotherapeutics. This instrument measures the heat of reaction from tertiary and secondary structure changes that occur when a biomolecule unfolds, or melts in the case of nucleic acids and lipids. The Nano DSC provides peak temperature when unfolding occurs and a total heat from the unfolding event.
The Nano DSC is a highly sensitivity differential scanning calorimeter for testing liquid samples containing a biomolecule or biotherapeutic sample. The unit is software controlled and experiments are set up, so that a sample is heated at a controlled rate over a defined temperature range. The Nano DSC can be automated to deliver samples directly from temperature-controlled 96 well plates, for unattended use. Automated cleaning eliminates sample carryover effects, and automated sample loading ensures the sample is delivered to the instrument the same way, every time.
