Understanding DSC data often requires looking beyond a single endothermic peak
Understanding DSC data often requires looking beyond a single endothermic peak. Hydrates and solvates can reveal valuable information about crystal structures, water/solvent interactions, and material behavior during thermal transitions.
In this episode of the Small Molecule Thermal Analysis series from TA Instruments, the discussion explores how hydrates and solvates respond during DSC heating, including:
🔹 Why the removal of water from a crystal lattice appears as an endothermic event
🔹 How pan selection (hermetic vs. open pans) can influence DSC results
🔹 Understanding the characteristic multi-peak behavior of hydrates and solvates
Accurate thermal analysis depends not only on advanced instruments but also on reliable, high-quality consumables. At CeramXpert, we provide compatible DSC/TGA consumables, including crucibles, pans, lids, and accessories, designed to support consistent and reliable thermal analysis results.
For researchers working in pharmaceuticals, polymers, materials science, and R&D laboratories, choosing the right consumables can make a difference in data quality and experimental repeatability.
Learn more about DSC interpretation and discover how the right consumables can support your thermal analysis workflow.
