The TGA 5500 is designed for the researcher that requires the highest level of performance and features in one package. Built to maximize temperature control and minimize drift, the TGA 5500 has less drift than any competitive TGA – even after they use post-test data manipulation! The TA patented IR furnace delivers the fastest heating and cooling rates available. The all new autosampler makes high productivity standard.
Features
- Ultra-low drift balance design ensures accurate detection of even the smallest weight changes.
- High capacity (1 g) Tru-Mass balance with auto-ranging capability to ensure the best sensitivity no matter the size of the sample.
- Free-hanging sample eliminates the heat sink prevalent in top-loading designs, for the most efficient heat transfer and gas flow around the sample.
- Thermally isolated balance with low drift and high sensitivity to deliver the most accurate real time data.
- Ambient to 1200 °C.
- Linear controlled heating rates of 0.1 to 500 °C/min.
- Ballistic heating rates >1500 °C/min for the highest efficiency available.
- Fastest cooling for improved sample throughput.
- Low volume, vacuum tight, and quartz lined with heated outlet option for best evolved gas results.
- Quartz liner makes furnace easy to clean.
- Integrated electromagnet for automated verification and calibration using Curie point standards.
- Innovative Gas-Delivery manifold design eliminates potential leak points from tubing and hardware connections ensuring the most consistent, repeatable atmosphere.
- Integrated software-controlled gas switching for experiments requiring dynamic or reactive atmospheres.
- New Gas blending module allows additional inputs of 4 gases with controlled gas switching and blending capability for flexible and demanding applications.
- Horizontal purge for best sample interactions.
- Vacuum tight to ensure inert, oxygen free atmospheres.
- Sealed pan option to maintain the atmosphere of the sample until the experiment starts.
- Compatible with all pan types and sizes for ultimate flexibility.
- Sealed pan and pan punch option for effective isolation of air sensitive or volatile samples.
- Scheduled and unattended calibrations and verifications give scientists more time for research.
- Integrated electromagnet allows for unattended Curie point calibrations.
- New TRIOS software makes it easier than ever to manage and run a large and diverse sample queue. The Design view and Running queue allow for quick and efficient autosampler programming.
