Operation of Thermo Analysis Equipment (TGA-GC/MS)
Three instruments combined into one flexible workflow, the TGA-GC/MS enables use of one or more instruments in thermal characterization. TGA can be used alone to analyze the mass loss or gain due to temperature-driven decomposition, oxidation or loss of volatiles. Through a high accuracy measurement of mass change, temperature and temperature change, both physical and chemical phenomena can be observed. This allows for analysis of second-order phase transitions such as vaporization, sublimation, absorption, adsorption, desorption along with chemisorptions, desolvation/dehydration, decomposition and solid-gas reactions.
When coupled with mass spectrometry via TGA-MS, the TGA-evolved gas product can be fed into the MS for identification. For full use of the hyphenated system, TGA-GC/MS, TGA-evolved gas product can be fed into a gas chromatograph (GC) for further separation before then passing the GC product into the MS for identification/analysis.
