Mettler-Toledo TGA/DSC 3+ GmbH, Analytical, Germany
TGA/DSC measures the mass of the sample and energy absorbed as it is heated or cooled. The instrument offers the automatic adjustment of mass, temperature and the inert atmosphere. The system is installed with Star e software programmed with ASTM E698 useful is studying the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters.

- Features and benefits of the TGA/DSC
- Unparelled performance-ultra micro performance over the entire weighing range.
- Very low minimum weight of 5gms on balances-measure samples accurately and precisely.
- Wide temperature range-analyze samples from ambient to 1600oC
- DSC heat flow measurement-for simultaneous detection of thermal effects.
- Automated TGA-FTIR, TGA-MS, TGA-GCMS systems-perform accurate evolved gas analysis.
