Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA)

Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA)

Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) is an advanced thermal analysis instrument developed to deliver accurate and repeatable material characterization. It performs thermogravimetric analysis by measuring changes in sample mass under controlled temperature conditions, providing detailed insight into material composition, thermal stability, and decomposition behavior.

Designed for high-precision thermal evaluation, TGA systems track mass variation as a function of temperature, time, and atmosphere. These advanced analytical instruments provide researchers and engineers with reliable data for understanding thermal performance, degradation mechanisms, and compositional properties across a wide range of materials. With sensitivity down to 0.1 μg and temperature capabilities exceeding 1000°C, TGA instruments support demanding applications involving polymers, pharmaceuticals, composites, and other advanced materials.

Combining highly sensitive balance technology with accurate atmospheric regulation, these analyzers enable in-depth investigation of evaporation, oxidation, desorption, and sorption processes. From determining filler concentration to evaluating oxidative induction time in engineered materials, TGA solutions deliver consistent, research-grade results. Expand laboratory performance with a Thermogravimetric Analyzer built for precision, enabling deeper understanding of thermal characteristics and material lifecycle performance.
