1. A MEMS cassette for insertion into a DSC calorimeter comprising:
a housing; and a chip mounted within the housing, the chip including:
a first channel extending through the chip;a second channel extending through the chip;a first reaction area located within the first channel;a second reaction area located within the second channel;a thermopile configured to convert thermal energy from the first reaction area and the second reaction area into electrical energy, andat least one heating element, the at least one heating element configured to provide localized heat to the first and second reaction areas to generate a reaction of at least one sample located within the first reaction area and the second reaction area.
