Single and Double Furnace DSC - Pushing technology and science to the limits
PerkinElmer have been involved with DSC technology for many years. Through research commitment and continual development, recent advances have seen the introduction of the new Single and Double Furnace DSC systems.
The Single Furnace DSC technology and user interface enhances the ease of use, robustness and reliability making it perfect for applications such as glass transition, crystallization and melting determinations as well as OIT and MT-DSC.

The Double Furnace DSC is pushing science to the limits with extremely fast heating and cooling under controlled conditions. A perfect example is the use of high heating and cooling rates to study polymorphism. Another example highlights how increased sensitivity can be gained from the higher heating rates.


The design of Double Furnace DSC also allows the capability of in-situ ballistic cooling to 1000°C/min, enabling you to perform experiments that mimic real-world processes. Experiments that require fast heating and cooling rates will require extremely fast data readout rates (100 points/second) with high data integrity.
A summary of what application areas best suit (but not limited to) the Single and Double Furnace DSC systems are listed below in the table for your review.
