A proper TGA calibration is one of the most critical procedures in a materials lab. While the TGA is an absolute workhorse for analyzing polymers and compounds, its data is unreliable if the calibration isn’t precisely managed. This guide comes from our direct experience. We’ll cover everything from TGA temperature calibration and TGA weight calibration […]

Having a clear picture of what your materials are made of and how they behave under heat is foundational to creating a quality product. For this, two well-known methods are Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Loss on Drying (LOD).  This article will break down the thermogravimetric analysis vs loss on drying debate, helping you decide which

Let’s be direct about selecting a major piece of lab equipment: it can be a needlessly complicated process. You know a Thermogravimetric Analyzer is fundamental for understanding your materials, but many of the available options can appear identical on the surface. As a long-time supplier, we’ve helped numerous organizations through this process. This guide is

In materials work, getting the details right is fundamental to success. We’ve seen firsthand that a deep knowledge of thermal analysis is essential for innovation and quality control.  For gaining that knowledge, you have two foundational methods: Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Understanding the difference between TGA and DSC is the key

From our perspective, a successful TGA analysis doesn’t come down to just the instrument. It’s about the crucial steps taken before the analysis even begins. We have consistently seen that the most significant source of questionable data isn’t the equipment, but the sample preparation for TGA analysis. Here is our professional take on how to
