Calculation of 1^st and 2^nd derivative including peak temperatures
Storage and restoration of analyses
Context-sensitive help system
Software produced by iso-certified company

DSC Features:

Determination of onset, peak, inflection and end temperatures incl. automatic peak search
Analysis of ExothermicA sample transition or a reaction is exothermic if heat is generated.exothermal and endothermal peak areas (enthalpies) with selectable baseline and partial peak area analysis
Combined analysis: comparison and/or evaluation of STA, DSC, TGA, DIL, TMA and DMA measurements in one plot
Comprehensive Glass Transition TemperatureThe glass transition is one of the most important properties of amorphous and semi-crystalline materials, e.g., inorganic glasses, amorphous metals, polymers, pharmaceuticals and food ingredients, etc., and describes the temperature region where the mechanical properties of the materials change from hard and brittle to more soft, deformable or rubbery.glass transition analysis
Degree of Crystallinity / Degree of CrystallinityCrystallinity refers to the degree of structural order of a solid. In a crystal, the arrangement of atoms or molecules is consistent and repetitive. Many materials such as glass ceramics and some polymers can be prepared in such a way as to produce a mixture of crystalline and amorphous regions.crystallinity
Oxidative-Induction Time (OIT) and Oxidative-Onset Temperature (OOT)Oxidative Induction Time (isothermal OIT) is a relative measure of the resistance of a (stabilized) material to oxidative decomposition. Oxidative-Induction Temperature (dynamic OIT) or Oxidative-Onset Temperature (OOT) is a relative measure of the resistance of a (stabilized) material to oxidative decomposition.OIT (Oxidative-Induction Time)

TGA Features:

Mass changes in % or mg
Automatic evaluation of mass change steps including determination of residual mass
Extrapolated onset and endset

Two Methods – More Effective Together

The system comes equipped with a user exchangeable TGA-DSC sensor. True DSC or simultaneous TGA-DSC measurements can also be performed while using the automatic sample changer (ASC). In addition, sample carriers for TGA and TG-DTA measurements are available.

Atmosphere – Perfectly Controlled by MFC and `AutoVac`

The three built-in mass flow controllers (MFC) control purge and protective gases to maintain optimum control of the atmosphere around the sample. Evacuation and backfilling of the furnace enables even further control of the atmosphere surrounding the sample, especially when dealing with powders and other “critical-to-evacuate” samples. The AutoVac feature automates and simplifies the evacuation process. For totally software-controlled AutoVac, a vane-type rotary pump system is included.

Variety of Crucibles – Suitable for Your Application

Many crucibles in various materials and dimensions are available. Standard crucibles are made of alumina or platinum, and many additional crucibles types, e.g., gold, zirconia, etc. are available. Crucibles with solid or pierced lids are also available. This large selection allows you to choose the right crucible for your application.

Automatic Sample Changer – Provides Peace of Mind

Efficient and reliable – you’ll be glad you have it. An automatic sample changer (ASC) for up to 20 samples is optionally available. It can be used for TGA or TGA-DSC measurements. The ASC guarantees optimal crucible placements and maximum throughput. Preprogramming allows measurements to be carried out over nights and weekends. By using predefined methods, sample handling becomes even easier.

All Set! – Ready for Coupling to Evolved Gas Analysis

For evolved gas analysis (EGA), the STA system can be coupled directly to a QMS, FT-IR, or GC-MS or to a combination of QMS and FT-IR or a GC-MS and FT-IR – even if equipped with an automatic sample changer.
