The new Differential Scanning Calorimeter DSC 500 Pegasus®, builds upon NETZSCH’s proven high-temperature platform, already trusted by universities and industries globally for its reliability and precision.
For optimizing the baseline, a micrometer adjustment system is integrated into the measurement part |
The latest analysis instrument combines this robust foundation with a modern user interface featuring an innovative light communication unit and an integrated touch display. This intuitive high-temperature DSC streamlines the entire process, from instrument setup to real-time monitoring and data analysis, significantly reducing manual tasks and enhancing lab efficiency.
Modular Design for Unmatched Flexibility
The modular design of the NETZSCH DSC 500 Pegasus® allows for the flexible adaption to a wide range of applications. Key configurable options include:
1. Various Furnaces
• Different furnace types to cover a temperature range from -150°C to 2000°C.
• Easily interchangeable furnaces for special applications
2. Dual Hoist System
• Simultaneous installation of two furnaces for rapid transitions across applications or temperature ranges.
• Option for a single furnace with an automatic sample changer for continuous, uninterrupted measurements.
3. Interchangeable Sensor System
• Versatility for DTA mode, traditional DSC mode, or high-precision DSC-cp mode, simply by simply swapping sensors.
Precision Engineering for Reliable Results
The NETZSCH DSC 500 is designed for precision and reproducibility. It meets unique challenges of high-temperature thermal analysis. Benefit from a fixed sensor arrangement adjustable with micrometer precision for tasks like specific heat capacity determination. Heat capacity is a material-specific physical quantity, determined by the amount of heat supplied to specimen, divided by the resulting temperature increase. The specific heat capacity is related to a unit mass of the specimen. Advanced atmospheric control, including dedicated mass flow controllers and a vacuum-tight chamber, enables measurements free from unwanted reactions or contamination.
Smart Data Management - Proteus® Search Engine automatically synchronizes the data shown with pre-defined directories and filters it in a matter of seconds |
The AutoVac system simplifies operations by automating chamber evacuation, while the optional Oxygen Trap System (OTS®) ensures ultra-pure environments.
