1. Sample Holders and Crucibles:
Sample holders made of aluminum, suited to the analysis of specific samples.
1. Software:
TA Universal Analysis™ Software: User-friendly software for data collection, analysis, and reporting.
Real-time data display for temperature vs. heat flow (mW) plots.
Advanced features for curve analysis, including integration, peak fitting, and transition identification.
Capability to perform multi-sample and multi-step analysis.
Data export functionality for easy sharing of results in various formats (e.g., CSV, Excel).
1. Data Analysis and Reporting:
Analysis of glass transition (Tg), melting point (Tm), crystallization temperature (Tc), specific heat capacity, and other thermal events.
Thermal event interpretation and quantitative analysis.
1. Cooling System (Optional):
Cryogenic cooling option for low-temperature studies, down to -180 °C, typically with a liquid nitrogen cooling system.
1. Sample Size:
The sample size is typically between 1 mg and 20 mg (depending on the specific material and the sensitivity required for analysis).
