DESCRIPTION
The Mettler Toledo TGA/DSC 3+ system is a thermal analysis instrument, measuring both mass and heat flow as a function of temperature. This system simultaneously collects TGA and DSC data on samples contained within crucibles as large as 900 uL, with a temperature range of ambient – 1100 C. Facilities are in place to run under air, Nitrogen, or Argon atmosphere.
