Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA)
max. 1100 °C | TG 209 F1 Libra®
NETZSCH-Gerätebau
In contrast with other thermobalances, no time-consuming baseline determinations need to be carried out with the TG 209 F1 Libra® prior to a measurement. The unique BeFlat® function of the Libra automatically compensates for any external factors influencing the measurement. This cuts work hours by up to 50%, leaving more time available, for example, for further measurements.
The heart of the TG 209 F1 Libra® is the micro furnace made of high-performance ceramics. It allows for a wider sample temperature range of up to 1100°C and for heating rates of up to 200 K/min. The user can thus receive the results of the analysis - even at highest temperature, i.e. 16 times faster than for other thermobalances.
With the TG 209 F1 Libra®, the sample temperature is measured directly. Endo- and exothermal reactions can now be detected and show, for example, the melting point of the sample, in the evaluation. This yields considerably more information on the sample behavior without having to carry out further measurements.
The lifespan of the new, especially designed ceramic furnace - even when investigating materials containing corrosive components - is many times longer than that of conventional thermobalances. This is gentle on the material and prevents occurrence of the dreaded memory effect which can distort subsequent measurements in conventional systems.
