TGA 8000
The TGA 8000 can control the furnace temperature range from subambient to 1,200 °C. The system delivers heating rates from 0.1 °C to 500 °C/minute, and its low mass and forced-air cooling allow it to cool quickly for fast sample turnaround. For sample gas environment, the system provides two integral mass-flow controllers for balance and sample purge. Built-in gas switching from Pyris™ software makes switching easy, while optional gas mixing allows the blending of up to three reaction gases, with delivery direct to the sample area.
