Thanks to sample weights of 500 mg and more, even inhomogeneous materials can be reliably analyzed. The temperature of the powerful horizontal resistance furnace with ceramic tube can be set in steps from 1 °C to a maximum of 1,550 °C. The analyzer can be equipped with up to four independent infrared cells according to the user‘s requirements, allowing for a great variety of applications.

ELTRA’s TGA Thermostep is a thermogravimetric analyzer which determines various parameters such as moisture, volatiles and ash at user-defined temperatures and atmospheres in a single analysis. The thermogravimetrics analyzer TGA Thermostep simultaneously analyzes up to 19 samples with sample weights up to 5 g and can be operated at temperatures up to 1000 °C.

A special feature of the TGA Thermostep is the management of crucible covers. The thermogravimetric analyzer can place and remove the covers of the crucibles during analysis. This feature allows for example the precise determination of volatile content in coal and coke.

It’s the ideal solution for smaller Quality Control or Contract/Analytical Testing labs that have, or want, pre-determined, standard processes to meet high quality and accreditation requirements. Right-sized and ready for deployment, LabVantage Express means you don’t have to make any post-implementation configurations.

The new ELEMENTRAC OH-p 2 is a powerful and robust elemental analyzer for measurement of oxygen and hydrogen concentrations in inorganic samples like steel, iron, copper or ceramics. The highly sensitive NDIR and thermal conductivity detectors reliably detect element concentrations from low ppm content to high percentages.

Alto is the world’s first SPR instrument to integrate digital microfluidics (DMF) with nanotechnology-based biosensors.

DMF technology enables all fluidics to be disposable, allowing for precise handling of 2μL sample volumes, crude sample compatibility and zero fluidics maintenance. Alto’s compatibility with automation for both hardware and software provides sample-in/answer-out data, industry leading throughput, and 120 hours of unattended run time.

Dilatometry measures the change in size of a sample as a function of temperature. In addition to directly determining the thermal expansion of the sample, the change in size also provides information about phase transitions and physical or chemical changes in the microstructure. These can be identified by the associated changes in density and rate of expansion of the material. Dilatometry is also an extremely useful method for evaluating the sintering behavior of materials, as it records both the shrinkage of a sintered sample and the temperatures required to achieve this change. This analysis allows optimization of workpiece shapes and processing temperatures, improvement of product quality and reduction of costs.

Light or laser flash is a crucial measurement technique used to determine the thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity of materials. This method is useful in characterizing the heat transfer and storage properties of a variety of materials, providing essential information about material composition and structure. Light/Laser flash is the most effective method for measuring thermal diffusivity over a wide range of temperatures and offers non-destructive material testing with accurate, reproducible results. The Xenon and Laser Flash instruments generate high-energy Laser or Xenon pulse sources and use a PIN contact detector or non-contact IR detector to measure the resulting temperature rise. The selection of the ideal source and detector depends on various factors such as sample morphology, dimensions, expected thermal conductivity, and measurement temperature range.
