This technique combines Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) in a single instrument. This allows the simultaneous measurement of heat flow (DSC) and weight change (TGA) of a sample under controlled temperature conditions.

It enables users to analyze a wide variety of samples.

Characteristics

•  Capable of performing analyses between 25°C and 1600°C under a controlled atmosphere (air, nitrogen, or argon).
•  Heating rate: from 0.1 to 100°C/min.
•  Balance: measurement range of 5g with a resolution of 1µg.
•  Available crucibles: small alumina and platinum crucibles (70 µL) and large alumina crucibles (600 and 900 µL).

Applications

• Study of phase transformations in metallic alloys and ceramics,
• Determination of material composition (purity),
•  Study of glass transition and degradation of rubber, polymer, and synthetic materials.
•  Characterization of pharmaceutical products.
•  Investigation of reduction and oxidation reactions under controlled atmospheres (air, nitrogen, etc.).
