Thermogravimetry-Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS) Analysis Service

Thermogravimetry-Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS) Analysis Service

Thermogravimetry-Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS) is a sophisticated analytical technique that offers unparalleled insights into the thermal properties and composition of materials. This method combines the precision of thermogravimetry (TG), which measures mass changes as a function of temperature or time, with the specificity of mass spectrometry (MS), which identifies and quantifies the evolved gases during the heating process.

Principles of Thermogravimetry-Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS) Analysis

Thermogravimetry (TG): The TG component of TG-MS involves the use of a high-precision balance to monitor the mass of a sample as it is subjected to a controlled temperature program. This allows for the determination of thermal events such as decomposition, oxidation, and evaporation by observing mass loss or gain at specific temperatures.

Mass Spectrometry (MS): The MS component is responsible for analyzing the gases that are released from the sample during the TG process. The mass spectrometer ionizes these gases and separates them based on their mass-to-charge ratio, providing a detailed profile of the evolved gas species.

Advantages of Thermogravimetry-Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS) Analysis

  • Comprehensive Analysis: TG-MS provides a dual perspective on material decomposition, offering both mass loss data and chemical composition of evolved gases.
  • Real-Time Data: The technique allows for the simultaneous acquisition of TG and MS data, enabling real-time monitoring of thermal events and gas evolution.
  • High Sensitivity: Modern MS instruments can detect trace amounts of gases, making TG-MS ideal for analyzing materials with low volatility or thermal stability.
  • Versatility: TG-MS is applicable to a wide range of materials, including polymers, pharmaceuticals, and environmental samples, providing a broad scope for material analysis.
  • Non-Destructive: While TG-MS is inherently destructive to the sample being analyzed, it can provide information that would otherwise require multiple tests, reducing the overall need for material consumption.

Methods of Thermogravimetry-Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS) Analysis

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA): We utilize a high-precision balance and carefully controlled heating programs to accurately measure the changes in a sample's mass as a function of temperature. This data provides insights into thermal transitions, decomposition, and phase changes.

Mass Spectrometry (MS): Coupled with the TGA, our mass spectrometer system ionizes the evolved gases and analyzes their mass-to-charge ratios, enabling the identification and quantification of the chemical species present.

Sample Requirements

Powder Samples We require approximately 10-20 mg of the sample for analysis.
Bulk Samples These should have dimensions where the diameter is less than 3 mm and the height is less than 3 mm.
Liquid Samples For liquid samples, we need approximately 1.5 ml for analysis.
