TA Instruments Japan Product Lineup

TA Instruments continues to be the leading company in the world of DSC with innovative and outstanding technology. It provides reliable data and enhances workflow and productivity in laboratories. Material property analysis is essential at all stages of product design, manufacturing, processing, and application. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is the most widely used thermal analysis instrument for evaluating the physical properties of a wide range of materials, including polymers, pharmaceuticals, food, biomaterials, organic compounds, inorganic compounds, and composites.

The DSC measurements conducted with microscope accessories provide insights through multiple applications to better understand the properties and behaviors of materials. It is possible to capture images related to crystallization and melting transitions, flow of materials above the glass transition and melting points, phase transitions, and volume dimensional changes associated with evaporation and sublimation. Visual observation of color changes and other appearance alterations is used in combination with DSC data to gain a deeper understanding of the material being analyzed.

We are explaining on YouTube about the selection of sample pans and sample preparation for effectively measuring with the TA Instruments Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). < Differential Scanning Calorimeter DSC > It measures temperature transitions in materials along with associated thermal temperatures and heat flow. Common applications include research, quality control, and the investigation, selection, comparison, and performance evaluation of materials for manufacturing purposes. The characteristics measured by TA Instruments' DSC technology include glass transition, cold crystallization, phase changes, melting, crystallization, product stability, curing/curing reaction rates, and oxidation stability. The Tzero DSC technology recently developed by TA Instruments is an innovative and highly accurate method for measuring heat flow. It significantly improves baseline flatness, transition resolution, and sensitivity. With Tzero technology, direct measurement of heat capacity becomes possible, and Modulated DSC measurements are faster and more accurate.

The Coin Cell DSC is a thermal analysis device specialized for the safety evaluation of lithium-ion batteries and all-solid-state batteries. While typical DSC measurements focus on evaluating materials in isolation, the Coin Cell DSC allows for measurements to be taken directly on assembled coin cells without disassembly. This enables the assessment of heat generation behavior and thermal stability while maintaining the actual cell structure, allowing for data acquisition that is closer to real-use environments. It is utilized for evaluating thermal reactions and heat generation onset temperatures due to interactions between positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, and electrolytes, as well as for analyzing thermal runaway risks. It supports a wide range of applications from battery material development, cell design, safety verification, to quality assessment. This solution contributes to reducing the time for research and development of next-generation batteries and their market introduction, as well as improving safety.
