TGA 8000™Thermogravimetric AnalyzerBETTER CHARACTERIZATIONS START WITH BETTER CONTROL2For researchers and scientists who characterize materials, the world is becoming increasingly complex. But the solution isn’t: Our TGA 8000™ thermogravimetric analyzer gives you complete control over your sample environment and delivers high throughput and reliability, even unattended. Plus, advanced hyphenation technology works beautifully with FT -IR, MS, GC/MS, and othersystems for better understanding of evolved gases. In other words, this is complex characterization made simple .YOUR SAMPLES ARE COMPLEX –EVERYTHING ELSEIS SIMPLE34IT’S TGA THAT’SBUILT FORBETTER CONTROLAn optical null ultra-microbalance isolated in atemperature-compensated balance chamber ensures stability and provides the capability of measuring the smallest weight changes.The hot finger keeps the transfer-line sniffer tube at a high temperature to prevent condensation – and the sniffer tube removes easily for cleaning.The heated gas-divert valve allows non-hyphenated runs without the danger of contaminating the transfer line.Our patent-pending mechanical positioning system tracks the autosampler position even when the system is powered down.The optional hyphenation interface extends thecapabilities of the TGA 8000 system to evolved gas analysis in FT -IR, GC, or GC/MS systems.The reaction gas tube allowsthe addition of a reactive gasdirectly into the sample areaand connects to the optionalgas mixing device (GMD8000) to allow mixing of upto three gases.The 48-position autosampler/autoloader provides reliable,unattended use of the analyzerwhile allowing hyphenatedtransfer-line and Accupikaccessory operation.The low-mass, platinum-woundmicrofurnace delivers fast heatingrates (up to 500 °C/min) up to1,200 °C and rapid cooling timesin a controlled atmosphere, whileonboard mass-flow controllersand gas switching allow forprecise atmosphere control.Onboard mass-flow controllersand gas switching provideprecise atmosphere control./TGA800056Welcome to the hyphenation evolutionUnlike all other systems, the TGA 8000 is designed from the groundup for hyphenation, enabling you to increase your power of analysis bycoupling techniques such as FT-IR, MS, GC/MS, and more. We’re theonly provider that can supply everything you need to understand andimplement a complete hyphenation solution for your lab, includinginstruments, service, and support. And while other vendors depend onthird parties to complete your hyphenation solution, we offer a wholerange of hyphenated systems that target your need precisely.The TGA 8000 system offers simple coupling, a heated gas-divert valve, and a heated sniffer line to maximize operation of ahyphenated system and assure optimum performance. Put thattogether with the balanced gas flow system in our transfer lines, andyou can easily determine the precise makeup of evolved gases.In fact, our hyphenated TGA-GC/MS system was chosen by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency for the study of solvents trapped incarbon nanotubes.The go-to software for all your TGA needsThe TGA 8000 system is operated under Pyris software, theplatform of choice for thermal analysis. It’s intuitive and userfriendly, and it provides a wide range of standard features andcapabilities that deliver maximum flexibility across our completerange of thermal analysis systems.With the Pyris Player feature, you get complete unattendedoperation of your autosampler and sample analysis – fromsample collection to reporting and printing. Pyris Playerenables you to group like analyses to simplify setup andsequencing. Plus, our AutoStepwise™ software providesexceptional separation of overlapping events and quantitativecompositional analysis – and it can easily separate the varioustransitions associated with multicomponent materials such aspolymer blends, elastomers, and materials containing solvents.And with decomposition kinetics, it enables you to studydegradation by traditional kinetic methods.With Pyris software you change furnace position, load orunload a sample, view run status, and even see a graphicalview of your experimental data – all at the touch of your finger.Plus, the system delivers all the convenience and monitoringcapabilities of Apple® iOS software from your iPhone® andiPad® – enabling convenient local control and status monitoringof your TGA 8000 system.Colored illumination provides unique identification of run status.A powerful iOS application allows TGA control and monitoring withan iPhone® or iPad®.Unsurpassed Performance for Complex CharacterizationsThe next big step in the evolution of thermogravimetric technology, the TGA 8000 delivers the throughput and performance you need in an easy-to-use, easy-to-maintain, automated system – perfect for these applications and more:Often it’s not enough to know howmuch solvent comes off during testing –identification of the solvent is essential tocomplete characterization.Analysis of complex matrices in coffeebeans shows not only differences inbeans but also leachables that may becontaminating the packaging.Organic chemical contamination fromillegal dumping, leaking tanks, and othersources is a serious concern. TG-IR can helpyou identify harmful chemicals in our soil.Not all phthalates in PVC are acceptable forall applications, and TGA-MS and TGA-GC/MS can help determine which types ofphthalates are present.Plasticizers in polymers can be quantitatedand identified by connecting the TGA 8000to a PerkinElmer FT-IR.Analysis of ethylene vinyl acetate byTGA-MS enables you to confirm that yourproducts contain the exact material youexpect – and have paid for.Connecting the TGA 8000 to a PerkinElmer GC/MSor MS system allows quantitation and identification ofevolved gases, as in this example for the study of asolvent of recrystallization in a pharmaceutical.In this example, the plasticizer is easily identified byexamining the IR spectrum during the weight loss associatedwith evolution of the plasticizer (at the 13-minute point ofthe experiment) and comparing it to a reference library.Weight loss (solid red line) and derivative (broken blueline) for the contaminated soil sample.Resultant thermogram from the analysis of coffee beans.The blue curve is unroasted beans from Africa; the redcurve is unroasted beans from Sumatra.
