10. How and why blank on the Setsys Evolution TMA?

Blank corrects the measurement, the thermal expansion of the sample holder and probe. It is advisable to carry it out with experimental conditions identical to those used with the sample. The blank can be carried out either at a vacuum (probe in contact with the sample port) or with a standard sample whose coefficient of thermal expansion is known. With the Calisto software, the sample measurement can be corrected for Blank.
