CALORIMETRY

Microcalorimetry

Microcalorimetry

Microcalorimetry uses a suite of techniques to directly measure enthalpy and heat capacity changes that arise when chemical reactions occur. In aqueous solutions, heat flux into or out of the sample almost always happens on reaction. These reactions may involve a wide variety of situations, e.g., the interaction of two molecules (such as a cyclodextrin and its guest), changes in the conformation of complex macromolecules (such as proteins or DNA), or even in the structure of very complex multimolecular colloidal drug delivery systems (such as liposomes).


Calorimetry

Calorimetry

Calorimetry measures the heat of transformation of a material subjected to a temperature variation in a controlled atmosphere.
Various systems are available: isothermal, isoperibolic, adiabatic, reaction, titration, solution, drop, Calvet-3D Sensor Inside, etc.


Non Destructive Assay (NDA) for Nuclear Waste Characterization

Non Destructive Assay (NDA) for Nuclear Waste Characterization

Calorimetry is the technique with the highest sensitivity for characterizing nuclear materials and waste.
When radioactive waste material in a container emits α and β radiation (e.g. from curium, plutonium, tritium, etc.) it also emits an amount of heat that is proportional to the quantity of radioactive material. This heat emission can be quantified using a SETARAM calorimeter.
SETARAM instrumentation's large-volume calorimeters (from 1 l to 90 l) can detect thermal radiation levels of just a few μW.

    We will also be holding a workshop on November 4th entitled:

    An Introduction to Assesment of Batteries & Materials Using Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis

    A seminar designed to help understand the applications of calorimetry and thermal analysis in the assessment of batteries, cells and materials development. This includes everything from screening materials, to self discharge and of course abuse and overcharge testing.

    The agenda is a series of presentations that introduce the techniques, principles of operation and key measurement capabilities of different techniques as well as a review of data and publications in the recent months that describe experimental procedures being applied today throughout the battery world.

    Marseille, FRANCE

    This conference will follow the very successful 2008 conference that was held in Augsburg. The conference 2010 will be organized in Marseille at a central location overlooking the old port. The aims of MOF2010 are to address all questions concerning the community working with Metal Organic Frameworks, Metal Coordination Compounds and related materials. The spectrum of topics to be treated range from synthesis and characterization of new materials to properties of materials towards potential applications in biology/medicine, catalysis, magnetism, luminescence and sorption. Both experimental and theoretical aspects will be dealt with, along with key questions pertaining to potential industrial applications of this fascinating family of materials.
