Make and Model: 
• Make: Rigaku • Model: Thermo Mass Photo • Installation Date: December 2022
Description: 
The Thermo Gravimetric Mass Analyzer (TG-MS) features a skimmer-type interface combined with fragment-free photoionization technology, enabling the measurement of molecules without destruction. The system's high-precision gas introduction interface and soft photoionization technology allow real-time discrimination and analysis of generated gases, even when multiple components are present simultaneously. This advanced configuration is ideal for analyzing complex gas mixtures during thermogravimetric experiments.
Features: 
• Breakthrough Ionization Technology: Utilizes a cutting-edge ionization method to enhance accuracy and sensitivity. • Ideal Gas Introduction Interface: Provides precise gas handling for accurate mass analysis of gases released during thermogravimetric processes. • Dual Ionization Modes: o EI (Electron Ionization): Traditional method for ionizing molecules. o PI (Photoionization): Allows fragment-free ionization, ideal for sensitive gas analysis. • Multiple Measurement Modes: o TIC (Total Ion Current) scan mode for a comprehensive analysis. o SIM (Selected Ion Monitoring) mode for targeted analysis. • High Sensitivity: Detects gases with ultrahigh sensitivity, ranging from hydrogen to M/Z 410. • Real-Time Gas Analysis: Capable of detecting unforeseen gas generation with exceptional sensitivity. • Dynamic TG Measurement: Enables dynamic thermogravimetric measurements with precision and flexibility. • Space-Saving Design: Compact, all-in-one design, making it ideal for laboratory settings with limited space. • Dedicated Electron Impact Ionization: Includes a specialized electron impact ionization (EI) feature for versatile gas analysis. • User-Friendly Operation: Equipped with a guidance function for easy operability and smooth workflow integration.
