Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry

The facility includes different types of calorimetry and thermal analysis equipment, including thermogravimetry, DSCs, Calvet, isothermal, isoperibol and flow calorimeters.

These can be used to study a variety of:

  • Systems, e.g., solids, liquids, biomolecules, living cells,
  • Properties, e.g., heat capacities, enthalpies of dilution, mixture, and
  • Processes, e.g., phase transitions, biological activity of microorganisms, protein folding-unfolding.
