DSC and Raman spectroscopy are two complimentary techniques that
when combined provide greater insight into material changes of
polymers and pharmaceuticals at a molecular level. The structural
information gained from Raman spectroscopy is precisely correlated
with energy changes in the DSC. This allows you to gain a greater
understanding of what happens to a sample at various temperatures,
changes previously unseen by a single technique.
PerkinElmer's double-furnace DSC design immediately compensates
for the energy from the Raman laser allotting for minimal
temperature change in the sample being analyzed so the heat from
the laser does not push the sample through a transition, which
would give inaccurate results.
