Discovery series DSC 2500 from TA Instruments offers streamlined material testing with high accuracy and sensitivity in determining materials phase transition parameters, e.g., melting, crystallization, or glass-transition temperatures, as well as corresponding enthalpies. These parameters are obtained through a precise DSC cell composed of a thermoelectric sensor surrounded by a furnace and a cooler, which enables precise control over heating and cooling rates within the operating range of the instrument (-90 to 400 °C under the current setting) while heat flow of the sample is measured against a reference.

An RCS90 cooler employs a two-stage refrigeration system to permit efficient cooling down to -90 °C.

The auto-sampler loads/unloads samples allowing for consecutive measurement of up to 54 samples, and a gas delivery module controls the purge gas to the furnace (gas 1 (N2); artificial air, He, Ar, O2 can be configured).
