The PerkinElmer DSC 8500 (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) features second-generation HyperDSC technology, which allows you to gain unlimited insight into the structure, properties and performance of your materials. And with hyper-enabled, double-furnace technology and better application capabilities, the DSC 8500 gives you higher accuracy and sensitivity than ever before.
Typical applications for the DSC 8500:
Polymorph characterization in pharmaceuticalsMeasure samples without heating induced polymorph changesProcess studies in pharmaceuticalsGet a greater understanding of how the process affects the amorphouscrystalline content of the productProcess simulation in polymersSee the effects your process has on the productFeatures:
