CRPP, ITCOne ITC systems (isothermal calorimetric titration) allowing the measurement of the heat of reaction of a solution (bio-macromolecules, molecules, NPs, etc.) according to the titrating reagent added in order to determine the concentration of a chemical species, the enthalpy (delta H), entropy (delta S) and interaction constants of the reaction: Nano ITC big volume (TA Instrument, 2009)

CRPP, DSC

Two DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) systems for determining phase transitions, glass transition temperature (Tg) (polymers, etc.), melting and crystallization and reaction enthalpies: DSC Q2000 (TA Instrument) and a micro DSC III (SETARAM Instrumentation) for measurements in liquids.
