Testing performed by our in-house service team:

The MicroCal PEAQ-DSC Automated system passed all tests and was found to be fully functional:

• We verified the power and initialization.
• We confirmed the connection to the software.
• We inspected the PAL positions.
• We assessed the Peltier cooler unit functionality and accuracy.
• We checked the syringe arm aspiration and dispensing.
• We performed a DSC water-to-water run.
• We completed a DSC run with the Malvern Performance Verification kit.
• We examined the wash stations.

WHY DO CUSTOMERS MAKING CRITICAL LAB PURCHASES CHOOSE TO ORDER CALORIMETERS FROM US?

They want to confirm reliable software communication and interface functionality, ensuring that control commands, data transfer, and run logging perform seamlessly without dropped signals or connection failures.

They want assurance that critical mechanical components (e.g., PAL systems, syringe arms, injection mechanisms) are inspected and functionally tested for smooth, accurate operation, preventing titration failures or injection misalignment mid-experiment.

They want to ensure thermal control components such as Peltier elements and heating systems reach and maintain setpoints accurately across the operating range, eliminating the risk of unstable baselines or incomplete thermal transitions.

They want to confirm that fluid handling systems, including aspiration, dispense, and wash stations, are tested for consistent performance and proper cycling, preventing contamination, incomplete cleaning, or injection errors.

They want assurance that vacuum systems (where applicable) are leak-tested and stable, ensuring sample cell integrity and preventing baseline noise caused by pressure fluctuations.

They want to ensure standard operational runs (e.g., water-to-water DSC tests, EDTA-Ca²⁺ titrations, or performance verification kit runs) are completed successfully, demonstrating the system performs within expected functional parameters.

They want to confirm that electronic noise and EMI levels at the detector/amplifier stage remain within tolerance and will not distort data quality.

They want to confirm that injection arms, motion systems, and communication between subsystems are tested for full range and reliability, avoiding stalls or miscommunication between modules during critical assays.

They want peace of mind, knowing their instrument is backed by a warranty from a company that can stand behind it.
