Microcalvet: the benchmark microcalorimeter for all your applications

Formerly known as the MicroDSC 7 calorimeter, the Microcalvet is a benchmark in microcalorimetry. Its unique design provides highly accurate measurements of temperature, heat, heat flow or heat capacity. It will meet your needs for characterizing liquids, solids, at sub-ambient temperatures or even at very high pressures.

For Superior Sensitivity

Microcalvet measurements are highly sensitive and accurate thanks to the combination of its 3D sensor and electrical calibration. These 3D sensors are composed of thermoelectric elements surrounding the measuring cells, ensuring full heat detection around the sample. The Microcalvet microcalorimeter features an easy-to-use, flexible cooling system that can operate in sub-ambient conditions down to -45°C.

It can also accommodate a wide variety of cells, each offering specific functions such as mixing, stirring, pressure resistance and pressure regulation. Measurement possibilities are wide-ranging, covering studies on heat capacity, mixing, transitions, reactions of solids and liquids.

Applications

Microcalvet, Setaram’s most versatile microcalorimeter, offers a wide range of applications:
• Heat storage: Microcalvet is widely used to characterize phase-change materials, barocaloric effects and refrigeration fluids.
• Flow assurance for oil & gas: Microcalvet’s high-pressure cells are ideal for these applications. Studies carried out with Microcalvet help to determine the temperature and pressure conditions required for the formation and dissociation of gas hydrates and waxes.
• Polymers: Conventional DSC is often limited by sample size and the pressure ranges supported. Microcalvet overcomes these limitations with its advanced capabilities.
• Life Sciences: Particular attention is paid to the characterization of some food materials. Microcalvet is essential for analyzing the thermal and physical properties of foods and their constituents.
