Quick and easy to use, the THT uMC allows multiple samples (up to eight) be studied simultaneously.
The uMC is a heat flow calorimeter with Peltier control for rapid equilibration.
Low volume (1.5ml or 4.0ml) disposable cells can handle solids, liquids and mixtures.
Sample quantities can range from milligrams to grams.
A variety of operation modes are possible, isothermal, step-isothermal or scanning.
