Notice Information
Notice Title
Thermogravimetric Analysis and Differential Scanning Calorimetry Device
Notice Description
The School of Engineering required an instrument that has the ability to do both Thermogravimetry (TGA for measuring mass changes) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC for measuring energy conversion) analysis from -150C to over +1000C. The reason that this is a necessary element to the School of Engineering is because the equipment is utilised by dozens of researchers across a number of research groups. Adding as much breadth to the device as possible allows for the School of Engineering to be able to process samples under a wider range of test conditions using just one instrument. This instrument will be used to analyse the thermal stability property of numerous kinds of novel materials, including catalysts, separation membranes, composite materials, nanomaterials and much more. To be able to effectively analyse the thermal stability properties of the above it is necessary to be able to go into the negative temperature ranges. The temperature range is unique to the Netzsch device as no other supplier is able to match this range and do both TGA/DSC. Therefore, for technical reasons the University of Edinburgh purchased the Simultaneous Thermal Analysis Device.
