差示掃描量熱法（DSC）是在程序控制溫度下，測量輸給物質(zhì)和參比物的功率差與溫度關(guān)系的一種技術(shù)，被廣泛應用于藥品的研究生產(chǎn)和質(zhì)量測試的快速可靠的熱分析方法，該方法具有準確快速、樣品用量少及易于操作等特點。綜述了近年來差示掃描量熱法在化學原料藥、藥物制劑、生物制品以及中藥鑒定等方面的應用，并展望了未來的發(fā)展前景。

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a technology to measure the loss to the power of substance and reference substance poor relations with the temperature under the program control temperature, and it is widely used in pharmaceutical research production and quality test. This method is fast, accurate, and easy to operate with fewer samples. This article gives a short overview on the application of DSC in chemical raw medicine, pharmaceutical preparation, biological product, and identification of Chinese materia medica, and looking forward to the prospect of the development in future.
