Thermal Analysis / Thermogravimetry (ATD, TG and DSC)

TA Instrument SDT-Q650 Discovery simultaneous thermal analysis system (TG-DSC-DTA), which allows operation from ambient temperature to 1300°C with heating rates from 0.1 to 50°C/min using platinum and alumina sample holders in synthetic air, nitrogen, and oxygen atmospheres.
TA Instrument DSC Q-200 differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) system, for operation from ambient temperature to 600°C with an accuracy of ± 0.1°C.
Both systems can operate with temperature ramp rate modulation (MDSC).
The required sample quantity is approximately 5 to 10 mg. Please inquire for smaller sample quantities.
