Themal Instruments, DSC and EGA

In thermal studies, the energy associated with given phase transitions or binding between molecular species is investigated.

Differential Scanning Calorimeters (DSC) measures temperatures and heat flows associated with thermal transitions in a material. Common usage includes studies of phase changes like melting, crystallization and glass transitions.  

In our lab we have a DSC 214 Polyma that offers for efficient characterization of materials between nitrogen temperature and 650 °C.

Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA)

Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA) refers to a group of techniques used to determine the nature and/or quantity of gases or vapors released during a process. When only the presence of gas is detected — without identifying its composition — the term Evolved Gas Detection (EGD) is often used In our lab we have a a Netzsch TG 209 F1 Libra (Netzsch, Germany)
