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 />
parameters<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 />
