Abstract
In accordance with the invention, a liquid sample for thermal analysis is disposed within a receptacle having a bottom surface and side walls. The top edges of the side walls are bent towards the center of the receptacle. A sheet of flexible, transparent material substantially impermeable to the sample is disposed across the top edges of the side walls, and an open lid compresses an o-ring onto the sheet material, sealing it against the bent top edges of the receptacle. The bottom surface of the receptacle is advantageously coated with a a material not wetted by the sample such as a fluorcarbon.
