Dear Reader
Since the first experiments by Henry Louis Le Chatelier in 1887, thermal analysis has developed to a group of measuring techniques that have become essential for material characterization of polymers, metals and inorganics, oils and fats, pharmaceuticals as well as food.
A major breakthrough was the invention of heat flow DSC in 1955 by S. L. Boersma. The heat flow principle still applies to present day instruments. Recent developments and innovations have seen the introduction of the Flash DSC by METTLER TOLEDO. The model Flash DSC 1 allows ultra-high heating rates of up to 2 400 000 K/min in the temperature range of –95°C up to maximum 500 °C.
The availability of powerful computer hardware and software has influenced thermoanalytical methods enormously. It has simplified method setup and instrument operation and has allowed curve evaluation and result calculation to become common and easily understandable tasks. However, thorough thermal analysis knowledge and diligent instrument operational skills remain essential to achieve meaningful and precise results.
This guide presents some solutions to perform thermal analysis tests safely and easily in the daily routine of a laboratory.

ion 1. Introduction
When it comes to analysing many samples in a limited time, analytical instruments have to be well "calibrated" and need to perform at their best. These requests are typical for the quality control of received goods, intermediate specimens taken from a production line, produced parts, failure analysis and material research. Furthermore, operation of the instruments should be as simple and safe as possible.
Basic maintenance tasks executed periodically assure good working conditions of the instruments. A seamless workflow ensures that an analysis can be done without any interrupting delays. Automation accessories help to avoid error-prone manual steps.
The METTLER TOLEDO Thermal Analysis Excellence systems offer new possibilities to achieve these goals. Test methods include several work steps and can be set to high automation levels, if desired. Few basic skills and a minimum amount of training are necessary to conduct a complete thermal analysis test. Routine tests can be executed with one click from the instrument's touch screen terminal without the need to have access to the controlling PC.
Efficient and reliable 7 day 24 hour operation is supported by a sample changer robot. Thanks to the design concept, the robot offers flexible crucible handling and reliable single axis movement. It is factory endurance tested, ensuring peace of mind for long term operation.
On the following pages, we will show selected routine maintenance tasks as easy and convenient tools to achieve good thermal analysis results.

The following diagram gives an overview of how to design an experiment. The individual steps in the process are not independent of one another – for example, sample preparation might need to be reassessed after the measurement results have been evaluated [UC 21/1].
The most important point before beginning an analysis is to be absolutely clear about the property you want to measure and the results you hope to get. A more detailed description of the steps involved in the process is given in different chapters and sections of this handbook. The relevant chapter and section numbers are enclosed in brackets after the names of the steps.

es 4. Taking Samples
A sample has to be representative, clean and original. Thus, good laboratory and good manufacturing practice guidelines (GLP, GMP) point out sampling rules to ensure that final results are meaningful and characteristic.
For thermal analysis, sample size and shape are two additional important aspects that can impact on the final result.
Size In comparison to other analytical techniques, thermal analysis uses small sample sizes. Therefore, the selection of the right part of the sample is crucial for the analysis.
Shape Flat surface to allow for good thermal contact.
Thermal analysis Typical sample size
DSC 5–50 milligrams
Flash DSC 20–100 nanograms
TGA 10–1000 milligrams
TMADepends on mode and sample, e.g. Dilatometry of polymers: 5 x 5 x 3 millimeters (LxWxT)
DMADepends on sample, sample and instruments.For 3 point bending of thermosets: 50 x 2 x 1 millimeters (LxWxT)
For TGA measurements, the sample's minimum weight has to be taken into consideration. The minimum weight depends on the type of the built-in balance and the uncertainty requirements for a certain weight step or the weight of the residue. Also, the upper sample size limit is defined based on available crucible volume, desirable heating rate and analysis time. Both values can be entered into the method in the form of sample limits. This means that an operator having prepared a sample that is either too small, or too large, will not be allowed to start the measurement.

Figure 1. Selection of crucibles for thermal analysis.
5. Choice of Crucible
Good thermal analysis measurements also depend also on the correct choice of crucibles and lids. Typical crucible materials are aluminum, alumina, platinum, steel, gold plated steel, copper, etc. They are selected according to the maximum temperature and to avoid or minimize reactions with the sample.Lids seal the crucible hermetically to avoid evaporation of the sample and to avoid interferences with the surrounding atmosphere. Lids with a small hole e.g. a pre-punched 50 μm hole, allow for a self-generated atmosphere in the crucible due to restricted exchange with the ambient environment. In contrast, open crucibles without a lid (or with a lid with a big hole) allow the ambient atmosphere to come into contact with the sample.
Crucible material Volume µL Recommended use Limits
Aluminum 40 Default for DSC 640 °C
Aluminum 20 For DSC of polymer films, disks and powders 640 °C
Platinum 40 TGA and DSC, better DSC signal than alumina 1700 °C
Gold 40 High chemical resistance 1000 °C
Stainless steel 120 Medium pressure DSC applications 250 °C, 2 MPa
Stainless steel 40 High pressure DSC applications 400 °C, 15 MPa
Alumina 70 Default for TGA 2000 °C
Alumina 900 TGA for larger sample volumes 2000 °C

e Crucible requirements:• The crucible material must be inert and not show any effects in the measured temperature range.• The melting point of the crucible must be higher than the effects that you want to observe in the sample.• Crucibles must be inert to the sample and its end products in the applied temperature range unless
a catalytic effect is desired, for example:– oxidation measurements with copper crucibles, or– chemical reactions using platinum crucibles.
Samples that do not contain volatile constituents are usually measured in 40-µL standard aluminum crucibles with a pierced lid (this can also be used for TGA/DSC measurements up to 640 °C!). Crucibles with pin cannot be used in the sample robot. Check the weight before and after measurement. If the difference is less than 30 µg, the crucibles have held tight. In TGA measurements, the height-to-width ratio of crucibles influences diffusion, see [UC 9/22]. Information about sample atmospheres can be found in Section 3.1.3.
Background information about crucibles is given in [UC 5/3].
The table below presents an overview over the individual DSC and TGA crucibles (see also www.mt.com/ta-crucibles):
Type of crucible Remarks Picture

6. Starting a Measurement
To guarantee safe and easy starting of thermal analysis measurements, methods are prepared accordingly.
Instruments: Keep the instruments on idle at the starting temperature, monitor gas supply and flow rate and check instrument performance before analysis. Methods: Select optimum measurement parameters such as heating rate, end temperature and sample size limits. Select the most suitable evaluation range and procedure. Store the method so that it is available for One Click™.
Methods started with One Click™ provide increased safety and efficiency: • No confusion about methods to apply. • No operating errors. • No time consuming method entry. • Minimized error-prone manual data entry.
The unique One Click™ functionality introduced by METTLER TOLEDO to a variety of instruments allows easy and safe starting of predefined measuring methods.After one click on the instruments’ touchscreen color display, the method is started automatically or the next screen asks for further data displaying entry fields for sample name, sample weight and position if a sample robot is used.
To avoid transcription errors and simplify the task even further, it is recommended that a barcode reader is used for sample identification entry.

7. Sample Insertion
Sample insertion to DSC and TGA instruments can be done in two ways:
1. Manual insertion The DSC and TGA instruments stand out through
their intelligent ergonomic design concept. In particular, a tray of prepared crucibles can be placed very near to the sensor area, where the measurement takes place. Hand rests, with ergonomically shaped and soft touch coated surfaces support the operator. Thus, operators can easily and safely insert the samples into the measurement cell.
2. Automatic insertion using the sample robot The main advantages of a sample robot are unattended operation for increased efficiency, extended
working periods to overcome regular shifts and improved repeatability by reducing operator influence.
The METTLER TOLEDO sample robot can process up to 34 samples, even if every sample requires a different method and a different crucible. The robot can remove the protective crucible lid from the crucible or pierce the lid of hermetically sealed aluminium crucibles immediately before measurement. This unique feature prevents the sample taking up or losing moisture between weighing and the measurement. It also protects oxygen-sensitive samples from oxidizing.
The design of the sample robotics means that the piercing pin does not come into contact with the sample, preventing cross contamination during operation.
Please see the sample changer robot in action at www.mt.com/ta-automation

For DMA measurements, the sample needs to be fixed by clamps and then inserted. Several insertion modes are applied in DMA measurement.

8. Unattended Measurement
Unattended measurements are a perfect set for error free, safe and reliable experiments. All experimental parameters entered beforehand to the method are stored for repetitive use. Thus, any recall of the method assures correct execution of the test. Once the measurement has started, the method works automatically.
Many features of METTLER TOLEDO's Thermal Analysis Excellence instruments contribute to safe and unattended measurements. Selection of these features that benefit the thermal analysis user include:
• FlexCal®, a function of the STARe software, ensures that the correct calibration data is applied to the calculated results. FlexCal®, automatically considers method variants such as gases, crucibles and the heating rate to name a few, from one measurement to the next. This method flexibility results in accurate and precise measurements.
• The gas flow is programmed within the method and no manual adjustments are necessary. FlexCal® takes this flow rate into account for the calculated results.
• Setting the TGA instrument for automatic buoyancy compensation. This is an easy and effective approach to achieve accurate TGA results. Buoyancy compensation reduces the experimental time needed to produce accurate results by more than 50%:
• It eliminates the need to run and subtract blank curves.
• It makes the waiting period for cooling, between blank and sample measurements, obsolete.
• After the measurement has been completed, the resulting curve is recorded and a pre-programmed macro evaluates the areas of interest performing conformity checks against user defined limits. A result text can be displayed, e.g. "The sample has passed".
The evaluated curve, including results, can be printed and/or transferred to a LIMS system automatically.
• When a measurement has finished, the method can be set to inform the user by email. This is especially helpful when operating an instrument manually, as you are alerted to insert the next sample saving laboratory time.
Another aspect of unattended measurement is the application of a sample changer robot. It extends the period of unattended operation considerably and allows for operation out of regular laboratory working hours. METTLER TOLEDO's sample robot, for the DSC and TGA, stores up to 34 samples. Its universal gripper handles various crucible types and utilizes the lid piercing option when specified in the method.

General Calibration is the determination of the deviation of the measurement result from a reference/literature value (it is equivalent to a check). Adjustment is the adaptation of instrumental parameters after calibration. Be aware of the certification of your reference materials: depending on the vendor’s certification status and testing procedure, substances might be certified for purity, melting point, enthalpy of fusion, modulus, and so on.

• Define the calibration interval: With a new and unknown instrument, a check should be performed once a week. When it becomes clear that the instrument does not drift over time, the check can be lengthened to once every 2 or even 3 weeks. Only adjust the instrument if the check is wrong! (In addition, make sure you reproduce the faulty check with a newly prepared indium/zinc sample). The long term drift of the instrument can be followed by collecting the accumulated check data in a spreadsheet or the statistics functionality of the STARe software. An indium check only takes only 6 minutes; the indium pill can be used up to 25 times for normal checks.
• Define limits of permissible error: The limits that are defined here depend on the application. The standard limits for indium are for example set to ±0.3 °C. Make sure you use realistic limits: if the reproducibility of the melting point of your substance is only ±2 °C (e.g. with polymers), an indium check requirement of ±0.3 °C will just waste the additional time needed to adjust the instrument to better than ±2 °C.
• Define measuring combination• Define the temperature range: The adjusted temperature range should begin and end 50 K below and measurement range.• Define the heating rates: Same heating rate as used in the methods (10, 20 K/min…). When the tau lag time has been adjusted, any heating rate can be used for a measurement, irrespective of whether that particular heating rate has been adjusted or not. See example below.• Define the atmosphere: Perform the adjustment using the same atmosphere as used in the analysis/method (N2, air…).The gas used influences the tau lag time and the enthalpy.• Define the type of crucible: Perform the adjustment for the same crucible as used in your analysis/method (e.g. Al 40 µL, Al2O3 70 µL…).The crucible defined influences temperature, tau lag and enthalpy.
If the tau lag time is correctly adjusted, the same melting point will be obtained at all heating rates:

Some general adjustment tips:• Switch on the instrument and all its cooling options and allow it to stabilize for at least two hours before
performing checks.• Do not use the data from the pre-melting of a fresh indium pill (1st heating run), use the data from
subsequent heating runs (up to 25).• The adjustment will be more accurate if the reference samples are positioned manually and not using the
robot.
It is up to the user to specify the tolerance limits!
Further information about calibration and adjustment can be found in the “Calibration and Adjustment in Thermal Analysis” webinar and in [UC 6/1]. Detailed information about the underlying algorithms used in the software can be found in Chapter 8 of the STARe Software “User Handbook”.
