Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a technique to provide insight into mass changes through a desired temperature range. By monitoring the weight of a sample within a furnace, thermal effects that cause a weight change can be identified and studied. This is perfect for the thermal analysis of a material’s decomposition temperature, thermal stability, adsorption and desorption, dehydration, and combustion. We offer TGA services using our Labsys Evo with capabilities of analyzing a variety of organic, polymer and mineral samples.

Labsys Evo TG 1600

We offer TGA services using our Labsys Evo with capabilities of analyzing a variety of organic, polymer and mineral samples running up to 1600 °C. We can provide insight into the chemical kinetics of decomposition and a material’s composition through pyrolysis. This is perfect for applications in hydrogen storage materials, organic materials, polymers and other weight change materials.
