High-throughput thermogravimetric analysis
Description
The thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) is a characterization technique that provides information on the thermal stability, purity and chemical formula of a material. This device enables several measurements to be carried out automatically.

Technical characteristics
- Mettler Toledo’s TGA 2 thermal analysis system uses a patented, parallel-guided remote weighing technique for true mass measurement, easy transcription of results and reproducible decomposition kinetics.
- Multiple samples can be measured using a robotized system.
- Fast routine measurements
- Unique One Click function makes it easy and safe to start predefined measurement methods directly from the touch screen.
- Optimum sample atmosphere. The TGA system is equipped as standard with an integrated mass flow controller (MFC) to manage the gas supply at oven and sample level.
- Non-sample-related influences on measurement, such as buoyancy, are corrected without the need for blank measurements.
