TGA 8000 with Agilent GC/MS
This coupling was designed to to enable a better analysis of resulting gas products from decomposed and vaporized materials.
If the optical null ultra-microbalance TGA 8000 is coupled with a GC/MS system, one gets both information about quantitative changes in mass and qualitative information about the products.
Features
- optical null ultra-microbalance in an isolated temperature-compensated chamber provides the capability of measuring the smallest weight changes with zero-compensation principle
- coupling with GC/MS systems through a transfer-line sniffer tube and a thermostatted gas-divert-valve
- high sensitivity and outstanding reproducibilty with Agilent GC/MS systems
Fields of application for TGA-GC/MS coupling
Analysis of polymeres, combustibles, bio mass, rubber and rubber compounds, pharmaceuticals, microplastics and art works under the following aspects:
- decomposition and thermal stability
- component identification and quantification, e.g. additives and bulking agents
- moisture/solvent evolution and their identification
- reaction kinetics and modeling
