Simultaneous TGA/DSC Analysis

TGA/DSC provides complementary information about a sample's thermal behavior by combining two distinct thermal analysis procedures.

TGA calculates how much a sample's mass changes when heated and exposed to a specific environment.

The sample heat flow linked to thermal events, like the glass transition, phase shifts, or cures, is measured by DSC. A more thorough understanding of a sample's thermal characteristics can be obtained by combining TGA and DSC into a single simultaneous thermal analyzer.

TGA/DSC Analysis

METTLER TOLEDO uses a TGA balance from the global leader in weighing technology to deliver reliable TGA/DSC thermal analysis findings. This translates to the best minimum weight performance, the highest weighing accuracy and precision, a wide measurement range, position-independent weighing, and automatic internal calibration weights.

Up to 1600 °C, users can examine a broad range of sample types.

The integrated DSC heat flow sensor ensures a highly accurate and precise determination of transition temperatures alongside the simultaneous detection of thermal events like glass transitions, melting, and crystallization.

The weight variations of a 5-gram sample are determined to be within 0.1 µg, and no other simultaneous thermal analyzer can continuously measure up to 50 million resolution points.

This implies that the user does not need to alter the weight range to measure small and large samples with the same high resolution.

DSC Heat Flow Measurement

The distinctive MultiSTARTM sensor amplification technology is the DSC sensor's foundation. The greater measuring signal produced by the six thermocouples improves the signal-to-noise ratio. The computed or measured temperature differential calculates the heat flow using one of three sensors, including DTA and STDA.

The heat flow is calibrated and adjusted at various temperatures using approved reference materials, exactly like with specialized DSC equipment.

High Productivity Through Efficient Automation

Cutting-edge hardware and software automation solutions improve the productivity of the whole thermal analysis TGA/DSC workflow, allowing users to enjoy dependable, 24/7 operation.

Even if each sample requires a different technique and crucible, the sturdy sample robot's universal gripper can automatically process up to 34 samples. From the tiniest to the largest, Mettler Toledo can handle the whole selection of crucibles. After it has been programmed, TGA/DSC equipment can operate continuously around the clock.

Even more time-saving capabilities are available to users with STARe software automation solutions. Automate result assessment and tracking, execute curve comparisons, set limitations for consistent curve evaluation, and automatically submit data to material tables. Users can save significant time and effort and improve repeatability by automating the entire operation.
