µRC / micro Reaction Calorimeter Introduction Calorimetry is a versatile non-destructive technique allowing the study of a wide range range of materials in a variety of physical forms. All chemical, physical and biological reactions are accompanied by heat change. These reactions, though sometimes subtle, can be measured using calorimetry. This brochure demonstrates the use of micro-calorimetry as a powerful analysis method with applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical and related fields. • Heat capacity determination • Process development • Thermal stability • Enthalpy of solution by...

Heat Capacity The µRC can be used to rapidly and accurately measure the heat capacity of solids, liquids and mixtures. Applying small temperature steps to the material in question allows the heat required to be measured. Heat capacity can be determined at multiple temperatures within the same experiment. Using these data can significantly improve the data measured using larger reaction calorimeters. Heat capacity of acetone Process Hazard Analysis Hydrolysis reaction The Micro Reaction Calorimeter provides hazard analysis with both speed and flexibility. Working with less than 2ml total...

Kinetic controlled reaction Process Development The µRC is easy to use which allows any chemist or engineer the ability to rapidly investigate whatever reaction parameters they desire. Calorimetry tests can provide users with information on reactant conversion, material accumulation, competitive reactions, inhibition and catalysis. Automated addition of materials allows unattended, walk-away operation and the options of disposable vials and syringes keeps costs to the minimum when conducting many reactions. Additional options such as a pressure handling option and high pressure cells will...

Hydrogenation The process of hydrogenation is much faster and effective when the pressure of the hydrogen atmosphere is increased. As the pressure increases the ability of the hydrogen molecules to permeate the sample is improved. The hydrogenation option simultaneously delivers Hydrogen to sample and reference vials. The power signal from the instrument is used to establish when the reaction is complete. Once the power level returns to the baseline and remains constant, the reaction is considered complete. Gas Flow Option The gas flow option has been used to good effect to study Carbon...

Titration & Pressure Measurement Specification Baseline noise From 5pW The pRC is supplied with a standard titration tower for automatic addition and utilises a fixed needle reusable syringe. The syringes are available in lOOpL and 250pL volumes. An optional syringe tower is now available that incorporates a second 22 gauge needle, this needle is fixed in place next to the standard titration syringe and connects via a 1/16” Swagelok connector to the pressure transducer. This arrangement is ideally suited to users requiring simultaneous titration and pressure measurement. Dynamic Rage...
