I want to perform kinetic analysis using mainly isoconversional methods on data from DSC. Should I conduct blank measurements before each sample measurement for higher accuracy? Are there any sources (book, publication, etc.) that answer whether blank measurements are necessary for kinetic analysis using DSC?"
For such analysis, blank measurements are highly recommended.
Generally it is necessary. But if you only want to get peak temperature and your sample is expected to have sharp peak, maybe you can skip it.
Joachim Emeka Arikibe Thank you for your response.
Yuxiang Li Thank you for your response.
Dear Dionysios Pala,
As mentioned before, blanks are recommended although it can depend on the equipment. This bibliography could be very useful for your kinetic analysis.
