Used PERKIN ELMER Pyris 1 TGA #293742631 for sale

PERKIN ELMER Pyris 1 TGA is a lab equipment designed to measure the weight loss and conversion of samples during thermal analysis. The device uses differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in order to accurately measure the samples' chemical composition. Pyris 1 TGA is mainly designed for use in research and development applications and is capable of determining the weight of samples when subjected to temperatures from room to 900 degrees Celsius, in air or in a vacuum. The device is able to differentiate the sample weight from the air's weight, and any samples reacting with the air during the experiment, to assure accurate weight result. The TGA is composed of three main parts, including the pan, the furnace, and the balance. The pan holds the sample for thermogravimetric analysis. The sample can determine the weight of the materials at different temperatures and times. The furnace can adjust the temperatures of the samples from room temperature to a maximum temperature of 900 degrees Celsius. The balance measures the change in weight of the sample over time. The device can be operated manually or with a computer with its associated software. The manual mode allows for an accurate operating procedure. Alternatively, the computer controls the operating parameters which include the starting and ending temperature range, the heating rate, and the sample weight. While operating PERKIN ELMER Pyris 1 TGA, users must take precautionary measures. This includes making sure that the sample size is appropriate for the TGA pan, so that it fits accurately and is properly balanced. It is also important that users remember to wear protective gear such as a face mask, eye protection, and gloves to prevent exposure to any harmful materials produced during the experiment. To clean the device, users should only use water or ethanol as solvent. It is important to keep the device dry as it can easily scratch or get damaged if any moisture remains on the surface. Pyris 1 TGA by PERKIN ELMER is a highly sophisticated device capable of accurately measuring different components present in a sample. The device is easy to install and use and requires minimal maintenance. It is also capable of a wide range of temperatures and accurate readings, making it a great tool for research and development applications.
