Microcalvet Ultra microcalorimeter
Microcalvet Ultra is simply the most sensitive microcalorimeter in the Setaram range. Thanks to its unique sensor, it measures the temperature, heat and heat flux of even the weakest thermal effects. It is particularly well suited to the characterization of polymers and biomolecules in solution.
For superior sensitivity, up to higher temperatures
Microcalvet Ultra measurements are highly sensitive and accurate thanks to the combination of its 3D sensor and electrical calibration. Microcalvet Ultra’s 3D sensor is composed of the most sensitive thermoelectric elements. They surround the measuring cells, ensuring complete detection of heat around the sample. Microcalvet Ultra uses a thermostat with a wider temperature range than Microcalvet. It remains easy to use and can operate between -20°C and 170°C.
Microcalvet Ultra’s standard cells are removable and can be easily cleaned between measurements, enabling characterization of liquids, solids, gels, suspensions and emulsions. Mixing cells with stirring and high-pressure cells are available as options.

Applications
The fields of application for Microcalvet Ultra are vast, but this microcalorimeter really shines when it comes to characterizing polymers, food and biomolecules in solution.
Its sensitivity enables detection of most conformational changes in aqueous solutions of polymers: membranes, micelles, vesicles. Polysaccharide gelation and starch gelatinization hold no secrets for it. Finally, it’s perfect for studying the thermal stability of proteins or enzymes in solution. As its cells are removable, washable and interchangeable, they are ideal if gels, aggregates or other solid particles may be present in the sample or appear during measurement.
