Introduction:
The TA Discovery TGA 550 Thermogravimetric Analyser (TGA) is an automated TGA system that has the feature of high performance, high accuracy and high sensitivity. It allows the study of the weight change of an analyte upon heating in a specific atmosphere in designed thermal processes. Additionally, this model has advanced features including Hi-Res TGA and MTGA techniques, and a 25-position autosampler.
