Abstract
A heat conduction microcalorimeter with a sensitivity of 103 µV mW-1 and a vessel of 3 cm3 has been designed. The device is equipped with an automatic dosimeter, an original system for injection in titration experiments, and a PC for control, data recording and data analysis. The software allows the determination of (i) overall heat effects, (ii) thermokinetics, and (iii) changes in enthalpy and equilibrium constants in titration experiments.
