TGA - TA Instruments Discovery TG
TGA - TA Instruments Discovery TG

Features include; a 4-gas input gas delivery module, auto-sampler, TG/MS coupling to a Pfeiffer Thermostar MS, modulated TG and HiRes TG. Typical sample weights are 0.5-2 mg, with a weight sensitivity of 0.1 µg. The IR furnace provides for regulated heating rates up to 500°C/min and ballistically 1000°C. The TRIOS software can be down-loaded for free from the TA Instruments home-page.

Capabilities/Accessories

Larger research groups may purchase their own Al2O3 or Pt cup (ca. 2500 SEK each), or MACAL can provide cups, with users then being responsible for the intactness of the cups.
