WORKING TOGETHER Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer

Measure simultaneously with ease Whether you need to characterize pharmaceutical tablets, chemicals or polymers, the STA 6000 offers you simultaneous measurement and analysis of weight change and heat flow. By combining flexible differential temperature analysis (DTA or DSC) with proven thermogravimetry (TG) technology, the STA 6000 enables you to generate accurate and reliable results while simplifying data interpretation. Designed with routine and research applications in mind, the instrument features advanced, innovative sensor technology and proven compact furnace design that together give...

The STA 6000 features the innovative SaTurnA Sensor for high quality, simultaneous TG and DTA/DSC measurements. This advanced sensor, designed with the reference ring directly below the sample pan holder, is optimized to achieve flat DTA baselines and high sensitivity. Because both sample and reference are measured simultaneously, you can be sure of the integrity of your analysis. The corrosion-resistant, pure platinum pan holder and reference ring make the instrument suitable for a wide variety of samples and applications. Control While many methods call for specific gas flow rates, others may...

Applications for simultaneous analysis From TGA... • Compositional analysis - quantitative content analysis • Decomposition temperatures • Engine oil volatility measurements (TGA Noack test) • Filler content • Flammability studies • Lifetime predictions (via TGA kinetics software) • Measurement of volatiles (e.g., water, oil) • Oxidative stabilities • Thermal stabilities • Catalyst and coking studies • Hyphenation to identify out-gassing products to DTA/DSC • Melting/crystallization behavior • Glass transition temperatures • Specific heat capacity • Kinetic studies • Transition and reaction enthalpies...

OXIDATIVE DEGRADATION New and Used Oils For this example, a new and used canola oil sample were held isothermally at 300 ˚C in an initial N2 environment. The sample purge was switched to O2 after 10 minutes. The new, unused canola oil shows one weight loss step after almost 37 minutes as the oil degrades whereas the used canola oil shows two weight loss steps. The initial degradation occurs at 26 minutes and the second, more dramatic degradation occurs after approximately 47 minutes. With this type of test, sample results are always compared against reference oil run under the same system conditions....

Figure 7. STA 6000 with 45-position autosampler. Increased productivity For ultimate productivity, the STA 6000 can be fitted with an easy-to-load vertical autosampler that is capable of running an unprecedented 45 samples unattended. A unique split-carousel design means you can prepare and load up to 45 samples at the place of preparation and before loading them into the instrument. A patented bimetallic gripper element that actuates the fingers enables the sample to be placed very precisely into the detector compartment. The Pyris software automatically monitors the temperature of the low-mass...
