  Experiments with rare isotopes are shedding light on the role isospin plays
in the equation of state (EoS) of nuclear matter, and isoscaling -an
straight-forward comparison of reactions with different isospin- could deliver
valuable information about it. In this work we test this assertion
pragmatically by comparing molecular dynamics simulations of isoscaling
reactions using different equations of state and looking for changes in the
isoscaling parameters; to explore the possibility of isoscaling carrying
information from the hot-and-dense stage of the reaction, we perform our study
in confined and expanding systems. Our results indicate that indeed isoscaling
can help us learn about the nuclear EoS, but only in some range of excitation
energies.
