Pan Metal and Type
The metal (e.g., aluminum, copper) and type
(e.g., crimped, hermetic) of your reference
pan(s) must always match the metal and type of
sample pan(s). Thus, when you are setting up the
tray, remember to include a new reference pan
for each new sample pan type used.
The DSC Autosampler CE operates using the
following types of TA Instruments pans:
Autosampler CE crimped pans
Hermetic pans
Open pans.
These pans are available in a variety of metals.
Any pan metal can be used with the Autosam-
pler CE, as long as it is conductive. However, do
not use aluminum pans at temperatures above
600
o
C.
Operation of the Autosampler CE with pans
other than those listed above is not recom-
mended. Autosampler CE performance is not
guaranteed with pans that are not provided by
TA Instruments.
