Thermal Analysis

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)

Thermogravimetric analysis or Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) is a method of thermal analysis in which the mass of a sample is measured over time as the temperature changes.

Available instruments: TA Instrument- SDTQ600 Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer

Sample acceptance and analysis

Temperature range: Room Temperature to 1200 °C.
Heating rate: 5 °C/min, 10 °C/min and 20 °C/min
Purge gas: Two options are available and the required gas should be selected by the customer.
       i. Compressed air
       ii. High-purity Nitrogen (inert environment)


Sample quantity required: 50 mg – 100 mg

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature.

Available instrument: TA Instruments – DSCQ200

Sample acceptance and analysis

Temperature range: – 60 °C to 350 °C (based on the requirement, the lower range can be adjusted)
Heating rate: 5 °C/min or 10 °C /min
Purge gas: High-purity Nitrogen (inert environment)
Sample quantity required: 50 mg – 100 mg

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)

Available instrument: PerkinElmer® DMA 8000
