Introduction

Setaram has inspired material scientists for over 60 years with a range of high quality material characterisation instruments for even the most challenging experimental conditions.

Now Setline brings Setaram’s thermal analysis expertise to academia with a range of instruments designed to meet the most important educational needs and applications ranging from the acquisition of thermal analysis skills through to basic research.

Thermal analysis has applications in many academic  elds including but not limited to Material Science, Metallurgy, 

Polymer and Physical Chemistry, Chemical Energy, Engineering, Geoscience, Pharmacy and Food Science. This diversity highlights the variety of institutes and students who use thermal analysis instruments and often on a continual basis.

The early popularity of Setline DSC / DSC+ systems sees the range now extend into STA / STA+ systems. STA, or Simultaneous

Thermal Analysis enables the coupling of Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Di erential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) for simultaneous measurement of mass variations and heat.

With educational needs in mind, Setline® thermal analysis instruments are designed for simplicity and power.
