Thermogravimetric Analysis from TA cis apable of determining the properties of materials associated with weight change such as dehydration, gas evolution, oxidation, and degradation. Samples can be analyzed in the temperature range from room temperature up to 1200°C in many different environments. The IR furnace is capable of heating rates of 0.1 to 500°C/min. in linear control, or over 2,000°C/min. in ballistic heating. Air sensitive samples can be analyzed by using sealed aluminum pans that the autosampler will 'punch' open before loading into the furnace. The following pans are available: 100 µl platinum pans, 100 µl high temperature platinum pans , 250 µl ceramic pans, and 80 µl sealed aluminum pans.
