Equipment Type:

Polymer Characterization

Information the Equipment Can Provide

The TGA/DSC 1 instrument was purchased in 2009 from Mettler-Toledo and has a micro-balance and a thermocouple sensor to simultaneously measures heat flow in addition to weight change as a function of temperature.

Key Features:

• Sensitivity detected: – microgram resolution (~2 microgram) over the whole measurement range
• Efficient automation: most reliable sample robot for high sample throughput (load up to 32 samples)
• Broad temperature scale: analyze samples from ambient to 1100 °C
• DSC heat flow measurement: for simultaneous detection of thermal events using a single thermocouple
• Gas controller: air and nitrogen gases are available. Other gases may be included after consulting with facility manager.

Fees and Policies

• UT Users: $19/hour
• Higher Education/State Agencies: $58/hour
• Corporate/External Users: $57/hour
