Thermogravimetric analyzer Discovery TGA (TGA-DISCOVERY)
Guarantor:
Josef Petruš, Ph.D.
Instrument status:
Non Operational, 2.3.2026 12:11, Pt wire hanger is bent due to an accident during measurement and has to be replaced by technician. Accordingly, pan is not stable during taring and weight loss reaches negative numbers.
Update: Service is scheduled on Thr 5th of March.
Thermogravimetric analyzer Discovery TGA, TA Instruments coupled with spectrometer Nicolet iS10 FT-IR, Thermo Fisher Scientific for evolved gas analysis.
