Thermal Analysis eTraining Courses

How to Interpret DSC, TGA, TMA, and DMA Measurement Curves

Thermal analysis is a well-established technique, used to characterize materials in almost every industry. In order to draw the right conclusions from your results, the correct interpretation of the thermal analysis measurement curve is critical. However, we know from experience this is often the most difficult part of an analysis.

What You Will Learn in Our eTraining Courses

Our web-based training courses are designed to unravel the mysteries of curve interpretation so that you can confidently draw the right conclusions from your results.

All our courses comprise two parts:

An online e-Learning course to work on at your own pace; and
A live, scheduled, web-based seminar (webinar).

After the webinar presentation, you will have the opportunity to discuss points of interest with our expert or with other participants.
