Description
Simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) allows the simultaneous application of thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to a single sample in one instrument. The instrument is coupled to an evolved gas analyser that can determine the products of thermal degradation in situ.
Uses / Applications
The combination of TGA-MS allows not only the thermal decomposition of polymers to be measured but also the nature of evolved products to be understood. This can allow the mechanism of degradation to be interpreted by the chemical identity of the products formed.
Specification
The SDT650 can operate from ambient up to 1200°C with a precision of ±0.5°C.
TGA can be performed under compressed dry air or nitrogen.
Incorporates dual beam technology for improved heat-flow characteristics.
Only 10 – 50mg of sample required.
The Hiden HPR-20 EGA can operate up to 200°C.
Fast response time of 300ms.
Can detect molecules at concentrations as low as 100ppb.
