Linseis – Simultaneous Thermal Analysis – STA
The simultaneous measurement of the weight change (thermogravimetry) and the energy conversion (differential scanning calorimetry) on a single sample (Simultaneous Thermal Analysis – STA) provides a large gain in information compared to an application in two different devices.
The LINSEIS STA series (Simultaneous Thermal Analysis) models are used to simultaneously measure the changes in mass (TG) and the caloric reactions (DSC) of a sample in a temperature range from -150°C up to 2400°C. The STA Platinum series was developed to meet these requirements at both high and low temperatures. A range of sophisticated furnace types and a large selection of sample holders and crucibles are available. You can also order various accessories such as gas mixing systems, gas analyzers and gas safety system as well as our extensive range of software to use.
IDEAL FOR
Typical applications are the differentiation between phase transformations and decomposition, pyrolysis, oxidation, combustion, etc.
FEATURES
Simultaneous TGA-DTA/DSC measures both the heat flow (DSC) and the weight change (TGA) of a sample as a function of temperature or time under controlled atmosphere. The simultaneous measurement of these two material properties not only improves productivity, but also simplifies the interpretation of the results. The complementary information obtained in this way makes it possible to distinguish between endothermic
