Thermogravimetry (TGA) is a technique that measures the change in weight of a sample as it is heated, cooled or held at constant temperature. Its main use is to characterize materials with regard to their composition. Application areas include plastics, elastomers and thermosets, mineral compounds and ceramics as well as a wide range of analyses in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Features and benefits of the TGA/DSC 2:
- High resolution – ultra-microgram resolution over the whole measurement range
- Efficient automation – reliable sample robot for high sample throughput
- Wide measurement range – measure small and large sample masses and volumes
- Broad temperature scale – analyze samples from ambient to 1600 °C
- METTLER TOLEDO ultra-micro balance – rely on the balance technology leader
- DSC heat flow measurement – for simultaneous detection of thermal events
- Gastight cell – ensures a properly defined measurement environment
- Hyphenated techniques – evolved gas analysis using MS and FTIR
- Modular concept – tailor-made solutions for current and future needs
