OIT, heat capacity and kinetic studies require separately confirmed methods and conditions. DSC does not provide diffraction, conductivity or expansion results.

Reading DSC results
A DSC result plots heat flow against temperature or time. Transitions and enthalpy are interpreted only within the agreed heating/cooling programme; diffraction images are not DSC results.
Prepare your samples
State material, sample amount, thermal history, anticipated transitions, temperature range, heating/cooling programme and atmosphere.
Do not dispatch restricted or unstable material before acceptance. The quotation and shipping instructions confirm the receiving location and any cross-border constraints. Shipping time is additional to laboratory turnaround.
Planning questions
What should I prepare?
State material, sample amount, thermal history, anticipated transitions, temperature range, heating/cooling programme and atmosphere.
What is outside the standard scope?
OIT, heat capacity and kinetic studies require separately confirmed methods and conditions. DSC does not provide diffraction, conductivity or expansion results.
When does turnaround begin?
8–12 working days is the indicative laboratory period after technical acceptance and receipt of all required samples and information. Preparation, special conditions and shipping can extend the overall schedule.
