The growing interest in clarifying the controversial situation in the Dark Matter sector has driven the experimental efforts towards new ways to investigate the long-standing DAMA/LIBRA result. Among them, low-temperature calorimeters based on Na-containing scintillating crystals offer the possibility to clarify the nature of the measured signal via particle identification. Here we report the first measurement of Na-containing crystals, based on material different from NaI, i.e. Na$_2$Mo$_2$O$_7$ and Na$_2$W$_2$O$_7$, pointing out their excellent performance in term of energy resolution, light yield, and particle identification.
