Introducing the DSC Autosampler CE
TA I NSTRUMENTS DSC A UTOSAMPLER CE1–6
 The Autosampler CE can be used with the
full range of thermal analysis temperature
profiles currently used in manual
experiments (depending upon the cooling
accessory installed).
 The AS run sequence ensures that the DSC
cell is within a safe load temperature range
(10 to 100
o
C) at the beginning of each run
by using compressed ambient air to rapidly
cool or warm the DSC cell as needed. You
can further narrow this temperature range if
you wish when you create your AS run
sequence.
 The Autosampler CE log keeps a record of
all controller and Autosampler CE activities
so that you can review operations even after
they are performed.
 The Autosampler CE runs a series of
diagnostics tests at power-up and
continuously during operation to ensure that
all mechanical and electrical components are
operating properly.
