Scientists and engineers generally recognize that more product and process information can be obtained by multiple analytical methods rather than using a single technique. Different signals can be recorded, and superimposed sample effects can often be much better explained. The technique has to be reliable, fast and easy to use in everyday operations.
The NETZSCH Multiple Module Calorimeter MMC 315 Nexus® is an instrument which can be operated with different modules for the investigation of energetic materials and batteries (coin cells). It can be used in commercial R&D, universities and research centers and in QC/QA for various industries. The MMC is capable of the following on gram-size samples:
Measurement of chemical reactions
Measurement of phase changes
Analysis of process safety
Characterization of pharmaceuticals and polymers
Advantages and Key Features
Multiple testing modes in one instrument to cover a wide application range:
Scanning mode (constant power, constant heating rate)
Wide temperature range
Wide pressure range
Various sample containers of different materials and volumes
Proteus® software for complete evaluation of thermoanalytical data in one plot
The MMC 315 Nexus® consists of two parts: the base unit with electronics and the interchangeable calorimeter modules for maximum flexibility.
Method
The Multiple Module Calorimeter ( MMC) is a highly sensitive technique used to measure small heat effects in materials. It operates using several independent calorimeter modules, which can work simultaneously or separately, depending on the experimental needs. When a sample is placed in one of the modules,
