Laboratory for Thermal Analysis
System for thermal analysis, which includes simultaneous thermal analyzer (STA) 449 Jupiter connected to Mass spectrometer (MS) Aeolos 403 C, enables routine and advanced studies of thermal decompositions with analysis of evolved gases, crystallizations, phase transitions and kinetics.
Different sample holders: thermogravimetric (TG), TG/DTA and TG/DSC, different atmospheres (inert, air), as well as different crucibles (Pt, Al2O3, Au) enable investigations of various materials (metals, polymers, inorganics, organics).

Thermal analysis (NETZSCH; STA 449 C Jupiter & QMS 403 Aëolos)
Simultaneous monitoring of mass changes, thermal effects, and the analysis of evolved gases during controlled heating. The STA 449 Jupiter with the TG/DSC or TG/DTA sample holder is used for the study of thermal decompositions, phase transitions, crystallisation, determination of enthalpy and the kinetics of phase transitions.
