Introducing the new DMA 1 and TGA 1 instruments
The new DMA 1 (Dynamic Mechanical Analyser) and TGA 1 (Thermogravimetric Analyser) are part of METTLER TOLEDO's entry level thermal analysis range of instruments - making them ideal for labs that need quality instruments on a tight budget.
DMA 1
The DMA 1 is used for dynamic mechanical analysis to measure mechanical and viscoelastic properties of materials such as as thermoplastics, elastomers and metals to guaranteeing a product's performance. The DMA 1 can assess multiple material properties for accurate, cost-effective analysis that conserves resources and speeds time-to-market.
Features and benefits of the DMA 1:
- Easy operation - allowing fast change of deformation modes.
- Large touchscreen - for convenient sample loading and monitoring of the measurement process.
- Flexible positioning of the measuring head - allowing you to position the Measuring head to the most convenient position for all measurement deformation modes, even in liquids or at different relative humidity levels.
- Wide temperature range - from 190ºC to 600ºC.
- Humidity option - for sorption and desorption measurements.
- TMA measurement capabilities - for measuring expansion coefficients, effects due to creep, and relaxation times.
- Extremely efficient and economical cooling - saving valuable measurement time and reducing liquid nitrogen consumption.
TGA 1
The TGA 1 is a thermogravimetric analyser used to measure the change in weight as a sample is heated, cooled or head at constant temperature. Application areas include plastics, elestomers and theromosets, mineral compounds and ceramics, as well as a wide range of analyses in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
By measuring up to 50 million resolution points continuously with no weight range required, the TGA 1 is characterises more sample in less time, enhancing throughput and offering greater ease for operators.
Features and benefits of the TGA 1:
- High resolution - with your choice of microgram or ultra-microgram resolution over the whole measurement range.
- Wide measurement range - measuring small and large sample masses and volumes.
- Broad temperature scale - analysing samplse from ambient to 1100ºC.
- Gastight cell - ensuring gas analysis using MS and FTIR.
- Designed with a modular concept - enabling options and accessories to be integrated easily, even further into the future.
