Make and Model:
• Make: Rigaku
• Model: TGA-STA8122
• Installation Date: December 2022
Description:
The Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) measures a sample's change in weight as a function of temperature, enabling detailed analysis of reactions such as dehydration, thermal decomposition, evaporation, and oxidation. Additionally, Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) detects endothermic and exothermic reactions during phase transitions, melting, crystallization, decomposition, and glass transition temperatures.
Rigaku’s TGA utilizes a horizontal differential triple-coil balance, designed to cancel out fluctuations and ensure highly accurate weight change measurements, providing robust data for thermal analysis.
Features:
• Triple-Coil Balance for Precision:
Accurate compensation using a horizontal differential triple-coil balance minimizes TG drift for precise measurements.
• Efficient Heating and Cooling:
The compact furnace allows for faster heating and cooling, increasing the speed and efficiency of experiments.
• Wide Temperature Range:
Measures temperatures from ambient to 1100°C, supporting a broad range of thermal analysis applications
