Introducing
the Auto TGA
The TGA Autosampler, known as the Auto
TGA, is an accessory to the TA Instruments
Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) 2950 (see
Figure C.1 on the next page). It allows you to
place up to 16 samples at one time on the TGA
instrument to measure the amount and rate of
weight change in a material. Experiments are
performed as they normally would be using the
TGAbut now you can run samples on a
continual basis and keep a log of the results
using the Autosampler screens. The six (6)
standard TGA pans listed below are used with
the Auto TGA:
· 100 µL aluminum
· 50 and 100 µL platinum pans and
· 100, 250, and 500 µL alumina ceramic
pans.
This appendix provides information on the set
up of the Auto TGA. For instructions on the use
of the Auto TGA through the Instrument Control
software, please refer to the online help and
documentation for further information.
