Thermal analysis
Our thermal gravimetric analyser, coupled with a GC/MS, is housed in the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence. It can be used for a wide variety of applications.
Additionally, two simultaneous thermal analysers and a differential scanning calorimeter are available.
What problems can we solve?
- Determine the thermal stability of a material
- Material composition analysis
- Analysing the rate of degradation
- Measuring moisture content
- Purity assessment and quality control
- Identify and quantify phase transitions
