Modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry

Modulated Temperature Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MTDSC) is an analytical technique used to study how materials respond to temperature changes. It applies a steady heating or cooling rate while superimposing a small, oscillating temperature variation. This allows the separation of different thermal events, like melting or crystallization, into reversible and non-reversible parts. As a result, MTDSC provides detailed insights into a material’s thermal properties, such as heat capacity and phase transitions, with higher sensitivity and resolution compared to traditional methods. It is especially useful for analyzing complex or sensitive samples where precise thermal characterization is required.
