Abstract
We describe an automated calorimetry system for measuring heat capacity in the range 1–35 K. The system employs an on‐line computer for signal averaging and data reduction and is capable of performing rapid, accurate specific heat measurements on very small (1–100 mg) samples.

Critical examination of heat capacity measurements made on a Quantum Design physical property measurement system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the performance of a thermal-relaxation calorimeter that operates in the temperature range of 1.8-395 K. The accuracy of the PPMS specific heat data is determined by comparing data measured on copper and synthetic sapphire samples with standard literature values.
