The AlexSys is a high-sensitivity Calvet calorimeter optimized for high temperature solution calorimetry in molten solvents at temperatures to 1000 °C. It is run isothermally to study heats of formation, reaction, and mixing. Transposed temperature drop calorimetry can also be performed to measure heat content,heats of phase transition and decomposition. The AlexSys is based on Prof. Alexandra Navrotsky’s (University of California - Davis) High Temperature Calorimeter which has many years of development, use, and application.

The PCTPro-E&E is a fully automated Sieverts instrument for measuring gas sorption properties of materials. It is particularly suited for all kinds of study in the fast growing Energy and Environment field.
With its new capabilities of easy gas switchings it is well designed for the full range of CCS (Carbon capture and sequestration) studies.

See the PCTPro E&E page

Batteries are essential power sources for every application from your new MP3 player, to the development of carbon neutral transportation. As demand for new and more powerful battery packs grows so do materials requirements. Setaram offers you a broad range of technologies for your laboratory, including traditional TGA and DSC as well as Gas Sorption techniques.

We present a small sample of the experiments that can be obtained with some of our system (from assessing performance to “abuse testing” and of course for the development of new Material), and encourage you to contact us for more information.

We are very pleased to introduce you "Calorimetry in Food Processing: Analysis and Design of Food Systems" edited by Gonul KALETUNC

Table of Contents:
Calorimetry in Food Processing: Analysis and Design of Food Systems introduces the basic principles of calorimetry and highlights various applications of calorimetry to characterize temperature-induced changes including starch gelatinization and crystallization, lipid transitions, protein denaturation, and inactivation of microorganisms in a variety of food and biological materials. Emphasis is given to the use of calorimetry as a tool for evaluation of processing requirements in order to assess the efficacy of food processing and for characterization of the effects of changes in formulation and processing conditions.

Carbon neutral energy generation lies not just with renewable sources of energy, but with technology to make existing, and future energy sources, more environmentally responsible. One of the key areas of research is into the capture and sequestration of CO2 and Setaram offers a broad range of technologies that can be used to assist your research in these important fields.

We present a small sample of the experiments that can be obtained with some of our system, and encourage you to contact us for more information.

HEL (Borehamwood, UK) has been the leader in adiabatic calorimetry for some time, and has combined with Setaram to offer a comprehensive product range to any Process Safety laboratory – form DSC, through to full vent size determination using Low Phi Factor Adiabatic Calorimetry (Phi-Tec I).

Setaram will introduce the ALL NEW PHI-TEC I, which uses the well established adiabatic principles developed in by DOW for the original “ARC” with totally new mechanical design, increased sensitivity, extra operating modes and exceptional software. Combined with HEL’s experience in process hazards and Setaram’s unequalled reputation for customer support this is an unbeatable combination...
