Product Introduction
The DSC-60 Plus Series is a differential scanning calorimeter introduced by SHIMADZU, widely used for material characterization in fields such as polymer materials, pharmaceuticals, food, and electronic components, providing highly sensitive, simple, and rapid analysis for new material R&D and quality control. The series adopts an all-new detector and furnace design, maintaining baseline stability, high signal-to-noise ratio, and wide dynamic range across the full temperature range, and supports network-based software integration with other analytical instruments.
Main Technical Specifications
- Temperature range: -140 to 600°C
- Signal-to-noise ratio: background noise <0.5 μW
- Dynamic range: ±150 mW (3 times that of the previous SHIMADZU generation), suitable for measurement of chemical reactions and curing reactions accompanied by large heat changes
- Cooling method: cooling bath provided as standard, no special accessories required; low-temperature testing can be performed by directly adding liquid nitrogen
- Cooling rate: up to 10°C/min below -100°C
- Sample loading temperature function: before replacing low-temperature samples, only the area around the sample is heated, preventing moisture condensation and shortening waiting time
- Energy-saving performance: when heating from room temperature to 300°C at 20°C/min, energy loss is reduced by more than 20% compared with the previous generation; when measuring below room temperature, liquid nitrogen consumption is reduced by more than 30%
- Regulatory compliance: complies with PIC/S GMP, Electronic Records and Signatures ER/ES, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and other requirements
- Software: TA-60 WS (high-performance, multifunctional application program compatible with the latest Windows)
Models and Accessories
- DSC-60 Plus: model with cooling bath provided as standard
- DSC-60 A Plus: main unit with built-in autosampler, 24 sample positions, capable of setting one day's analysis workload; supports template-based automatic analysis and automatic printing, and features safety mechanisms
- TAC-60L Liquid Nitrogen Automatic Cooling Device: suitable for continuous measurement from -130 to 500°C, with a cooling rate of up to -10°C/min at -80°C; the liquid nitrogen tank automatically optimizes parameters according to the liquid nitrogen amount, providing a more stable low-temperature baseline
- TAC-60i Electronic Cooling Device: suitable for continuous measurement from -50 to 500°C, with a cooling rate of -5°C/min at -30°C, requiring no liquid nitrogen; combined with the DSC-60 A Plus, it enables fully automated analysis
- FC-60A Gas Control Device: 2-channel gas flow regulation, maximum primary pressure below 0.6 MPa; purge gas and dry air flow rates both 0 to 500 mL/min; dimensions W180×D200×H90 mm, approximately 3 kg; power supply AC100V, 100VA
- Sample pans: available in various specifications including aluminum, platinum, nickel, copper, quartz, aluminum sealed, stainless steel pressure-resistant (5 MPa), and dedicated for autosampler
Product Features
- High sensitivity across the full temperature range, capable of detecting minute thermal changes in trace samples
- Low-temperature testing possible with the standard liquid nitrogen bath, simple to operate
- Wide dynamic range of ±150 mW, suitable for analysis of samples with vigorous reactions
- Optional autosampler and liquid nitrogen/electronic cooling accessories, supporting fully automated continuous measurement
