TGA/DSC 3+ Thermogravimetric Analyzer – Mettler Toledo

High-precision analysis of mass changes in materials under controlledatmospheres and elevated temperatures.

What is it for ?

The TGA/DSC 3+ thermogravimetric analyzer is used to :

  • Determine the thermal stability of materials
  • Characterize degradation steps (solvent loss, thermal decomposition)
  • Study oxidation or combustion under controlled atmospheres
  • Measure residues (ash content, residual carbon rate, etc.)
  • Analyze the influence of humidity on sample degradation
 

Fields of application :

Advanced materials, chemistry, environment, pharmaceuticals, polymers, metallurgy.

 

Available Measurement Types :

  • Mass variation as a function of temperature (Thermogravimetric Analysis – TGA)
  • Thermal degradation analysis (mass loss, thermal stability)
  • Study of controlled oxidation or combustion (mass gain, oxidation reactions)
  • Combined analysis :
    • Thermogravimetry (TGA) coupled with heat flow measurement (integrated DSC)
    • Effect of humidity on sample stability (with humidity accessory)
