An Improved Do-It-Yourself Differential Scanning Calorimetry Glass Capillary Crucible for Thermal Safety Evaluation of a Chemical Process

In 1988, Whiting et al. reported the first differential scanning calorimetry measurement in a glass capillary crucible, providing general information about the crucible and the holder as well as the advantages of using this system. However, the glass capillary crucible and the holder are not yet commercially available. Here we introduce a glass capillary crucible developed with our know-how to encourage its wider adoption in order to reduce costs by obviating the need for commercial gold-plated crucibles.
