PerkinElmer's TGA 8000™ Thermogravimetric Analyzer

The TGA 8000 analyzer is controlled by PerkinElmer's proprietary Pyris™ software platform, which provides intuitive, user-friendly options for high-sensitivity analysis of thermal data.

This instrument also can be easily hyphenated and coupled with FT-IR, MS and GC/MS systems to enable a better understanding of evolved gases. It also features local instrument control and run status monitoring via iPhone® or iPad® devices so that users can remotely obtain information on analyses as they progress.

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) is a technique which measures the change in mass of a sample as it is heated, cooled or held at a constant temperature in a controlled atmosphere.

TGA can be used for determining decomposition and thermal stability, identifying and

quantifying components, measuring and identifying moisture/solvent evolution, and evaluating and modeling reaction kinetics.

APPLICATIONS:

The TGA 8000 analyzer can be used for a wide range of applications such as identifying harmful chemicals in soil and identifying and quantitating components in polymers. Other examples of applications include determining leachables that may contaminate a product's packaging, identifying phthalates in PVC samples, and confirming if products have the exact materials that are promised to consumers.
