  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003177",
  "term": "Differential thermal analyser",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An instrument that measures the temperature difference between a sample and an inert reference material as both are subjected to a controlled temperature program. This technique detects thermal events like phase transitions or chemical reactions by observing endothermic or exothermic changes. The temperature difference is plotted against the program temperature.",
