- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) allows to record the difference in heat flow of two crucibles, one filled with test substance and the other left empty as reference, while these crucibles are subjected to a controlled temperature programme. A transition of the test substance, such as melting or evaporation, is indicated by a deviation from the base line in the heat flow record. Because melting and evaporation are processes in which heat is consumed, the deviation from the base line is in the endothermic direction for these processes. The melting temperature or boiling temperature of the test substance is evaluated from the DSC curve as the extrapolated onset temperature of the endothermic melting or evaporation peak.
As a safety precaution for the DSC cell a preliminary test was performed using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). - GLP compliance:
