Effect of Charging Errors

Moreover, the DSC technique investigates other types of deviations, such as the effect of the solvent or catalytic effects due to impurities. 

In the first thermogram (solid line), reactant A was omitted, in the second (dashed line), reactant B was omitted. 

As a conclusion, it appears clear that measures must be taken to avoid omitting the charging of compound (A) the omission of (B) is not as critical, and requires no special measure. Thus, based on two dynamic DSC thermograms, important conclusions for the safety of the studied process can be drawn.
