Mettler Toledo offers a wide range of crucibles - including aluminium crucibles ideal for DSC measurements.
The type of crucible used can effect the quality of results obtained and also influences important characteristics of the DSC measuring cell. It is essential to consider relevant factors before measurements are taken as it can save time later when interpreting the curve. These include crucible volume and material, temperature range, sample and atmosphere.
Mettler's high quality crucibles help extend application possibilities through the determination of weak thermal effects by using high volume crucibles for larger samples.
Enhancement of resolution with lighter crucibles and crucibles with improved thermal conductivity.
Avoidance of sample/crucible reactions by using inert crucibles.
Suppression of volatile compound generation by using high pressure cells. Application of catalytic effects by employing copper and platinum crucibles.
