Depending on the specific characteristics of the material or process, experiments can be performed under various controlled conditions:
The operator is provided with a large variety of useful information on the process or the substance under investigation for subsequent characterisation.
When to use FlexyTSC:
The adiabatic thermal screening calorimeter is a powerful tool for assessing the safety characteristics of solids, liquids, and heterogeneous mixtures.
With FlexyTSC, detailed thermodynamic investigations can be carried out to identify and evaluate potential risks arising from decomposition processes or self-accelerating (autocatalytic) reactions.
The FlexyTSC becomes essential whenever deeper understanding of thermal behaviour or potential reaction hazards is required. Typical evaluation parameters include:

SEDEX is the most versatile measuring cell in the portfolio. It features an integrated display for real time progress monitoring and a magnetic stirrer for improved sample homogeneity. By using an oven with circulating hot air, solid samples can be tested for stability (e.g., transport stability in a wire cage). Two different temperature ranges make SEDEX suitable for a wide range of applications.
