M<strong>DSC</strong>: Purge Gas Flow Rates<br />

�Use Purge Gas Flow Rate of 50 mL/min. (N2) &<br />

25 ml/min (He)<br />

�Faster rates increase noise<br />

�Slower rates decrease sensitivity, increase<br />

baseline curvature<br />

�Flow Purge Gas through Vacuum Port<br />

at 50 mL/min.<br />

�Improves response of furnace<br />

�Facilitates wider range of modulation<br />

M<strong>DSC</strong>: Baseline Calibration<br />

Identical to Standard<br />

<strong>DSC</strong> experiment<br />

Eliminates Baseline<br />

Drift<br />

Does not affect<br />

curvature<br />

-Slower heating rates<br />

contribute to<br />

curvature<br />

-Heavier sample<br />

masses minimize<br />
