Product Name: TGA 8000
Product Manufacturer: PerkinElmer
Launch date: 2015
Ingredients: Thermogravimetric Analyser
Brand Website: https://www.perkinelmer.com/tga8000
Describe the product: 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.
The TGA 8000 analyser 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.
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.
