Joining the IGUS-EOS ad-hoñ working group

CISP experts joined the ad-hoc working group that had been run by the IGUS-EOS and participated in the first meeting held in Frankfurt in February 2010. One of the main focuses of the working group activity is improvement of testing methods for classification of self-reactive substances.

Important information for Users that work under Windows VISTA and 7

Windows VISTA and 7 apply much higher level of security as compared with Windows XP. Therefore some of our Users met problems when running CISP applications under these operational systems. To overcome possible confusion please bear in mind that CISP SOFTWARE MUST BE RUN BY A USER WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR PRIVILEGES. Another method is to run an application in “As Administrator” mode.

New versions of the CISP software are available

New versions/updates of our software are available on the CISP site.
New features of the latest releases.
1. Majority of the applications have been adjusted and verified under Windows VISTA and 7. The list includes ADPro, TDPro, ForK, DesK, InSafer, ReRank, ThermEx, ReactOp Cascade. Other applications will be verified soon.
2. New version of ForK – ForK 4 – has essentially enhanced set of models available, including reversible stages, long chains of consecutive stages, reactions with complex branched pathways.
3. New version of ThermEx Standard supports the enhanced set of formal models, created by ForK 4, the improved, more logical and convenient user interface, improved math methods.
4. ReRank 3 supports the enhanced set of formal models, created by ForK 4.
5. ADPro and TDPro include new data converter (TFC). It became more convenient and allows conversion of data of reaction calorimetry that include not only thermal but concentration responses.

New article will be published soon

New article written by our colleagues will be available soon in Thermochimica Acta. Written by A. Kossoy and I. Sheinman, the article “Effect of temperature gradient in sample cells of adiabatic calorimeters on data interpretation” analyzes the thermal behavior of sample cells of the ARC and VSP adiabatic calorimeters and the influence of temperature gradient in a bomb on the inaccuracy of kinetic parameters evaluated from adiabatic data.
A new control method for maintaining sample adiabaticity is proposed that provides obtaining the most correct experimental data suitable for creation of reliable kinetics.
