This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The Perkin Elmer TGA 8000 is a thermogravimetry–gas chromatography mass spectrometry (TG-GCMS) system. The Perkin Elmer TGA 8000 is configured with a Clarus 580 GC and an SQ8 MS. The TGA portion of the Perkin Elmer TGA 8000 can operate up to 900 °C, with the mass balance becoming unstable after 500 °C.[1]
What it is
The Perkin Elmer TGA 8000 is a thermogravimetry-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (TG-GCMS) system.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThermogravimetry measures the mass change of a sample as a function of temperature or time under a controlled atmosphere.
The evolved gases from the TGA furnace are transferred to the GC-MS for separation and identification.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTG-GCMS instruments are used in materials characterization laboratories to study thermal stability, decomposition kinetics, and composition of materials.
The technique is applied to polymers, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other materials where thermal behavior and evolved gas analysis are of interest.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedApplications include determination of decomposition temperatures, identification of volatile decomposition products, and analysis of residual solvents or additives.
TG-GCMS is also used for quality control, failure analysis, and research in fields such as polymer science, catalysis, and environmental analysis.
