Aluminium Sample Pans

These pans can be used with all of the DSC's from PerkinElmer. They are sealed using the Universal Crimper Press ( B013 9005) using the standard die set , which hermetically seals the pans.  If volatiles are produced then lids or pans with holes should be used to prevent pressure build up

A good combination is a 40µl base with a 30µl base with holes as a lid

Volatile and Vapour Pressure Pans

Volatile sample pans are used with volatile solid or liquid samples which exert significant vapor pressure at the temperature of interest. They are available in both aluminum and gold.

They are sealed using the Universal Crimper press (B013-9005) and sealing insert (B014-4637)

Benefits :

They can withstand an internal pressure of 2 atm (30 psi).

Aqueous solutions can be scanned up to and through 100°C to observe solute behavior.

The heats of fusion of materials that sublime can be determined can be determined accurately.

The effect of an enclosed atmosphere on thermal behavior of a sample can be observed.

These are small sample pans with have an effective volume of 10 ml

Covers with 50m-pinhole lids are available for measurement of boiling points, heats of vaporization, and sublimation temperatures.

Applications:

The major applications for this type of pan are purity analyses (i.e., pharmaceuticals, melting of lipids or liquid crystals) and phase transitions, heat of vaporization, and boiling points
