Detailed Description
Both Simultaneous Thermal Analysers at the UKAEA Materials Research Facility MRF use platinum crucibles for superior temperature uniformity. The instruments are equipped with furnaces for operation at -100-500°C and RT- 1600°C. They are fully automated and can be controlled remotely.
