Unlocking the Secrets of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is probably the most widely used analytical technique in the pharmaceutical and life sciences after HPLC. But why? And what is it? How does it work? How should you design a DSC expeiment to maximise the information you get from it? All these questions, and more, will be answered in this 10-part series, all devoted to getting you to understand, use and interpret DSC properly! Part 2 of the series here;    • Demystifying Heat-Flux and Power-Compensat...   If you want to delve deeper into the design considerations of DSC, there are several excellent reference sources you might look at. I would recommend; Principles of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry (RSC publishing) - Chapter 5 (https://books.rsc.org/books/edited-vo...) Differential Scanning Calorimetry - An Introduction for Practitioners (https://www.google.co.uk/books/editio...)
