New NIST Traceable Standards for Calibration and Validation of Differential Scanning Calorimetry

Abstract
Several reference materials and associated reference value have been recommended for the purposes of calibration and/or validation of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). However, issues of available sample purity, reference property value accuracy, and potential undesired reactions between reference materials and the materials used for sample pans have not been considered sufficiently in some of the recommendations of property values for the materials. These limitations attetuate greatly the usefulness of many of these reference material recommendations. Indeed, the state of uncertainty regarding true reference property values can be shown to be a limiting factor in the uncertainty of measurements made with DSC. NIST had certified the temperatures and enthalpies of fusion of two new Standard Reference Materials, SRMs 2234 and 2235, in order to help alleviate some of the difficulty.Citation
