TA Instruments Q600 SDT

The TA Instruments Q600 SDT simultaneously measures mass through thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and heat flow through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A matched platinum thermocouple pair within the dual beams connected to a dual balance mechanism provides precise TGA and DSC measurements from ambient to 1,500°C. A separate gas inlet is available to introduce a reaction gas to the samples. The exhaust gas port can be connected to a mass spectrometer to identify sample components.

Usage of the TGA/DSC is charged on an hourly basis. All training and reservations for the TGA/DSC are handled via MDERFH’s iLab Core.
