How to choose a calorimeter from the CAL3K Range

In the intricate world of bomb calorimetry, choosing the right calorimeter model is crucial. The CAL3K range of calorimeter systems from DDS Calorimeters offers a spectrum of options, designed to meet the diverse needs of researchers across various fields. But with so many choices, navigating the landscape of calorimeters can feel overwhelming. This guide aims to equip you with the knowledge and insights necessary to select the perfect CAL3K system for your specific research requirements.

Understanding Your Needs: A Crucial First Step:
Before embarking on your search, it’s essential to clearly define your holistic calorimeter needs and requirements. Consider the following:
• Throughput: How many samples will you be analyzing per day or week or month? This will determine the ideal speed and automation level of your system. Calculate a daily sample rate. Included the possibility of repeat samples, warm up samples and check samples.
• Budget: What is your budget for the calorimeter system? CAL3K offers options to cater to diverse financial considerations. Remember that most of our calorimeter systems can be upgraded with extra vessels to handle more throughput, so don’t let this be your limiting factor.
• Demand: How urgent is the result from the Calorimeter? This differs between a production environment, a research facility and a university laboratory. Consider if a duplicate or repeat sample needs to be run to verify the answer.

Exploring the CAL3K Range:
A Symphony of Features:

All CAL3K systems run a dry static jacket bomb vessel, which make the system naturally faster, more responsive and accurate than the water jacket systems. We pride ourselves in a small desktop footprint with no undercounter space requirements. DDS is very conscious of the environment and the impact we have, hence our calorimeter systems are totally waterless and boast an ability to run off a 20W solar panel.

Choosing the right CAL3K calorimeter system is an investment in your research success. By carefully considering your needs, exploring the available options, and prioritizing the features that matter most, you can unlock the full potential of your research and contribute to ground breaking discoveries.
