TA Instruments™ invites you to experience the world’s line of Thermogravimetric Analyzers, the Discovery™ TGA55,TGA 550, and TGA 5500. Discover the advanced engineering and attention to detail that provides enhancementsin every aspect of TGA technology and a new level of user experience. From the cost-effective and flexible TGAwith performance, to the advanced TGA available, there is a Discovery TGA to meet your needsand exceed your expectations.
The TGA 55 is specifically designed for those who want a rugged, reliable,and cost-effective TGA, and are not willing to compromise on performance.Utilizing TA’s proprietary Tru-Mass™ Balance as the core of the measurement,the TGA 55 will outperform competitive research-grade models. Its sensitivity,accuracy, and ease-of-use make this TGA an ideal instrument for basicresearch in academic or industrial labs that need quality results.
Tru-Mass™ Balance
At the core of every new Discovery TGA is the proprietary Tru-Mass™ Balance. The Tru-Mass Balance system is Thermally isolated for high sensitivity in every laboratory environment, delivers high Resolution to separate the components of the challenging TGA samples, and Ultra low drift (Tru-Mass). The result is an innovative new TGA with performance in weight drift and sensitivity.
Balance Features and Benefits:
• Ultra-low drift balance design ensures accurate detection of even the small weight changes.
• High capacity (1 g) Tru-Mass balance with auto-ranging capability to ensure the sensitivity no matter the size of the sample.
• Free-hanging sample eliminates the heat sink prevalent in top-loading designs, for the efficient heat transfer and gas flow around the sample.
• Thermally isolated balance with low drift and high sensitivity to deliver the accurate real time data.
The new proprietary balance system delivers the purest real-time weight data possible.
