Brochures & Manuals

  • The ASC booklet
    In this folder, an introduction to the concept of ASC is illustrated with a selection of measurements. Selected subjects are large melting transitions, delicate transitions involving small amounts of energy, lipid suspensions and the advantages of enthalpy in data analysis.
