METTLER TOLEDO’s Thermal Analysis Excellence instruments enable rapid, accurate characterisation of materials across a broad temperature range, helping laboratories accelerate development, improve quality control, and gain deeper insight into material behaviour. At the core is Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), a powerful technique used to investigate thermal transitions and material properties as a function of temperature or time.
Discover the next generation of performance with the DSC5+
- Power Compensation and Heat Flux modes
- High-Sample throughput (96 samples and 7 reference crucibles)
- MMS 1 Sensor: 136 Thermocouples, 2 heaters for Power Compensation

The DSC 5+ fully automated thermal analysis system sets a new benchmark in DSC technology. Its exceptional performance extends the capabilities of DSC analysis, allowing users to confidently tackle even the most demanding applications. Its unrivalled modular design provides a flexible solution for current and future requirements, while many new features simplify daily laboratory operations.
Market-leading MMS 1 sensor with FlexMode™
The advanced MultiStar™ MMS 1 sensor features 136 thermocouples and two integrated heaters, delivering exceptional sensitivity and high-resolution thermal analysis. FlexMode™ technology allows the DSC5+ to operate in either power compensation or heat flux mode. In power compensation mode, the integrated heaters deliver a very short signal-time constant and outstanding resolution for separating close-lying thermal effects. Heat flux mode provides low noise levels, ensuring high sensitivity for the detection of weak thermal transitions and effects. In addition, the new measurement cell ensures exceptional enthalpy reproducibility and highly accurate specific heat capacity determination.
FlexCal™ & Electrical Heat-flow Adjustment
FlexCal™ calibration accounts for method variables such as crucible size and type, heating rate and gas type. The patented Electrical Heat-flow Adjustment (EHA) is available for the entire temperature range, eliminating the need for reference substances. This removes operator bias, saves time and improves measurement accuracy.
High-capacity sample robot with gas-purged sample changer
The DSC 5+ is equipped with a high-capacity sample robot with 96 samples and seven interchangeable reference crucible positions for unattended operation, using a variety of crucibles in the same run. To protect samples from environmental influences, the trays are stored in a gas-purged chamber. Removable sample trays simplify sample preparation and improve workflow efficiency.
Versatile cooling selection
The CombiCooler connects to both liquid nitrogen and the intra-cooler. To reduce consumption, the instrument automatically selects the correct cooling method, using liquid nitrogen only when required by the measurement conditions.
Powerful AI evaluation
With STARe software, the DSC5+ leverages AIWizard™ technology to automatically detect, evaluate and identify thermal effects, enabling fully automated analysis while improving consistency, accuracy and laboratory efficiency.
