Thermogravimetric analyzer. (Instruments).


This manufacturer of thermal analysis Thermal analysis is a branch of materials science where the properties of materials are studied as they change with temperature. Techniques include:
  • Differential scanning calorimetry
  • Dynamic mechanical analysis
  • Thermomechanical analysis
 and surface science instruments offers a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA See TARGA.

 and mass spectrometers acquires highly concentrated samples, which allows for identification of trace level components and provides superior FTIR and MS data, according to the company. The VersaTherm includes the company's Windows 2000-based Thermal Analyst software package, said to be a powerful and easy-to-use research tool. The Thermal Analyst software can be combined with the Thermo Nicolet Omnic software, providing the user with a fully integrated control and data analysis package for TG/FTIR systems. (Thermo Cahn)
