The Q600 provides simultaneous measurement of weight change (TGA) and true differential heat flow (DSC) on the same sample from ambient to 1,500 ˚C. It features a field-proven horizontal dual beam design with automatic beam growth compensation, and the ability to analyze two TGA samples simultaneously. DSC heat flow data is dynamically normalized using the instantaneous sample weight at any given temperature. For further operating specifications, click this link to download the Q600 brochure.

IEN will host comprehensive training on the thermal analysis technologies of TGA & DSC on August the 9th in the Marcus Nanotechnology Conference Room 1117. Mr. Mark Taylor from TA Instruments will give a presentation titled: Q600 Simultaneous TGA/DSC (SDT), Basic Theory & Applications Training.
Topics that will be covered include:

• Understanding DSC and TGA
• Experimental Design
• Calibration
• Optimization of Experimental Conditions
• Interpretation of Undesirable Events
• Applications

The timed agenda for this training event is:

• 11:00am - 12:30pm ~ Q600 Simultaneous TGA/DSC (SDT), Basic Theory & Applications Training, Mark Taylor, TA Instruments
• 12:30pm - 1:00pm ~ Pizza Lunch Break (lunch provided by IEN)
• 1:00pm - 3:00pm ~ Hands-on Training
