Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
Measures changes in a material’s mass as a function of temperature or time under a controlled atmosphere. Used to assess thermal stability, decomposition behavior, moisture content, and compositional changes.
Sample requirements
- Samples must be non-explosive.
- Minimum sample quantity: 0.1 g, in an Eppendorf tube placed in a ziplock bag.
- Only solid, powder, or sheet-form samples are acceptable.
- State temperature range (°C), environment (air / N₂ / Ar), and any other requirement.
The official proforma is titled TGA/DTA. The published rate table lists TGA. A separate DTA rate is not published.
