TAM-III is a multi-channel microcalorimeter with a thermostat that monitors the bath temperature to an accuracy of 0.0001 °C. This thermostat uses mineral oil that rapidly dissipates heat and minimises temperature gradients in the system. Temperature fluctuations in the TAM-III are ±10 µK in the 15-150 °C range and the 24 h drift is around ±100 µK. It can be used in isothermal, step-isothermal or temperature gradient mode.
Instruments
TAM-III Multicalorimeter (TA Instruments) with six 4 mL capacity mini-calorimeters. Glass ampoules can be used for experiments at low temperature ranges, or stainless-steel ampoules for samples that react with glass, or when working at higher temperatures or suspected outgassing during the test.
The most common applications are in:
- Pharmaceuticals: polymorphisms, drug-excipient compatibility, stability, amorphicity and crystallinity.
- Materials: Stability and compatibility.
- Life sciences: microbial activity, detection of microorganisms in blood, dose-response curves.
