Product catalog summary
Introduction to Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a technique for assessing the thermal stability of proteins and biomolecules by detecting heat absorption during conformational changes. Key parameters include the thermal transition midpoint (TM), enthalpy, and heat capacity, which indicate molecular stability and interactions.
What is DSC?
A DSC thermogram shows protein unfolding, with multiple peaks for different domains. The TM indicates thermal stability, with higher values showing greater stability.
Why Use DSC?
DSC is crucial in biopharmaceutical development for optimizing stability, purification, and biosimilarity assessment. It is also used in drug development and academia for analyzing protein folding and transitions.
MicroCal PEAQ-DSC Key Features
The MicroCal PEAQ-DSC system offers sensitive microcalorimetry with features like unattended operation, tight binding constant measurement, and regulatory compliance. It supports automated data analysis and is network-ready.
MicroCal PEAQ-DSC Automated
This system provides high throughput and sensitivity with automated cell filling and cleaning, supporting up to 50 samples per day. It integrates into existing data systems and complies with regulations.
PEAQ-Compliance
The PEAQ-Compliance software ensures compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11, managing electronic records with audit trails and user authentication, essential for QC and method development.
PEAQ-Performance
PEAQ-Performance simplifies performance qualification checks, ensuring the instrument operates within criteria. It automates system readiness checks and baseline stability for reliable data.
PEAQ-Smart

INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY (DSC) WHAT IS DSC? Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful analytical technique which characterizes the thermal stability of proteins and other biomolecules. In solution, these molecules often undergo thermally-induced conformational changes, such as the breaking of non-covalent bonds leading to the unfolding of a protein. These types of structural rearrangement are detectable by DSC as they require the absorption of energy in the form of heat. Even in dilute solutions of protein, the new MicroCal PEAQDSC systems detect such heat...
