The thermogravimetric analyzer STA 449 F1 Jupiter Netzsch and Differntial Scanning Calorimeter STA 6000 Perkin Elmer for determining the glass transition temperature, temperature and the enthalpy of phase transitions in glass ceramics.
The simultaneous application of Thermogravimetry (TG) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to a single sample in an STA instrument yields more information than separate application in two different instruments:
- The test conditions are perfectly identical for the TG and DSC signals (same atmosphere, flow rate, vapor pressure on the sample, heating rate, thermal contact to the sample crucible and sensor, radiation effect, etc.).
- The analyzability of the signals is improved, since two or more sets of information concerning sample behavior are always simultaneously available (differentiation between phase transformation and decomposition, between addition and condensation reactions, recognition of pyrolysis, oxidation, and combustion reactions, etc.)
The simultaneous thermal analyzer NETZSCH STA 449 F1 Jupiter allows the measurement of mass changes and thermal effects between 25°C and 2400°C. The high flexibility caused by the various sensors, the great variety of sample crucibles and the wide TGA-measuring range make the system applicable for analysis of all kinds of materials including also inhomogenous substances.

High-performance, multi-purpose XRD system with small-angle scattering prefix Ultima IV Rigaku to determine the composition, size and shape evolved nanocrystalline phases.
The Ultima IV represents the state-of-the-art in multipurpose X-ray diffraction (XRD) systems. Incorporating Rigaku's patented cross beam optics (CBO) technology for permanently mounted, permanently aligned and user-selectable parallel and focusing geometries, the Ultima IV X-ray diffractometer can perform many different measurements
Features:
- Full automated alignment under computer control.
- Optional in-plane diffraction arm for in-plane measurements without reconfiguration.
- Focusing and parallel beam geometries without reconfiguration.
- SAXS capabilities.
- Optional D/teX Ultra high-speed, position-sensitive detector system.
HT 1500 high temperature attachment is the automated variable temperature stage for in-situ X-ray diffraction measurements of materials at ambient and elevated temperatures (up to 1500°C). The stage may be operated in air, gas, vacuum, or under inert gas such as helium or nitrogen. The sample is heated radiantly for reduced heat gradients within the sample. Automated z translation within the stage assures precise sample positioning even in the presence of thermal expansion of the sample.
In the Ultima IV XRD system, CBO technology eliminates time spent switching geometries, enables everyday users to run both sets of experiments without the need to reconfigure the system, and reduces wear and possible optic damage associated with the recurrent switching process. CBO and automatic alignment combine for the ultimate in functionality for: micro-crystalline diffraction, thin-film diffraction, small angle scattering, and in-plane scattering.
