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.
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.
At CD BioSciences, we offer a comprehensive Thermogravimetry-Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS) analysis service to meet the diverse needs of our clients working with environment-friendly materials. Our state-of-the-art TG-MS instrumentation and experienced team of scientists are dedicated to providing high-quality data and insightful analyses to support your research and development efforts.
Sample Preparation
Careful preparation of the sample to meet specific requirements for powder, bulk, or liquid samples.
Heating Protocol
Subjecting the sample to a programmed temperature increase in a controlled atmosphere.
Data Acquisition
Collecting TG data for mass changes and MS data for evolved gas analysis.
Analysis and Reporting
Providing detailed reports that include thermal profiles, mass loss data, and chemical analysis of evolved gases.
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.
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. |
