Conducting thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) experiments on air-sensitive battery materials has been challenging with traditional methods. It usually requires the installation of a TGA device inside an atmosphere-controlled environment, significantly increasing costs. TA Instruments new TGA Smart-Seal Pan enables TGA of atmosphere-sensitive samples without the need to install the TGA instrument in a glovebox, simplifying sample handling and reducing costs.
The new Smart-Seal Pans offer:
- Enhanced Sample Protection: The hermetic seal protects sensitive samples from atmospheric contamination.
- Cost Efficiency: Significant cost and space savings compared to glovebox installation of TGA.
- Ease of Use: Straightforward sample encapsulation and handling comparable to standard TGA test.
- Evolved Gas Analysis: Standard EGA connection without the complex gas sampling setups often used for glovebox installed TGAs, enabling easy analysis of decomposition gases.
