Some basic information about the DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) test
The DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) test is an analytical technique used to examine and characterize the thermal behaviour of materials. This test is used to measure the reaction of a material to changes in temperature and its thermal properties.
DSC is widely used in material science, chemistry, pharmaceutics, food science and many other fields.
The DSC test operates by comparing two different samples (usually one reference sample and one test sample). Basically, the samples are subjected to the same temperature program and then the heat exchange is observed. The DSC curves show the heat flow changes in response to temperature. These changes are a reflection of thermal phenomena such as phase transition, melting or crystallization.
