ON THE FREEZING OF WATER AND THE MELTING OF ICE IN SCANNING CALORIMETERS.

Author(s) : WILLIAMS R. J., HIRSH A. G.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETER CAN PRODUCE HIGHLY ACCURATE ENERGY INFORMATION ON THE THERMAL EVENTS IN BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS. IT CANNOT REPORT THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH THERMAL EVENTS OCCUR ACCURATELY AT RATES ABOVE 1 K/MIN, AND THIS MAY LEAD TO MISINTERPRETATION OF THE DATA. THE DOUBLE THAWING PEAK FREQUENTLY REPORTED MAY BE THE RESULT OF THE DISTILLATION OF WATER FROM THE SAMPLE TO THE SAMPLE PAN LID, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT COOLER THAN THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN.
