University of Canterbury is seeking to purchase a Simultaneous Thermal Analyser (TGA/DSC).
A Simultaneous Thermal Analyser (STA) is a type of instrument that combines Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in a single device. This allows for the simultaneous measurement of changes in a material's mass (TGA) and heat flow (DSC) as a function of temperature or time under controlled atmospheric conditions.
This capability is currently lacking at UC with the previous work-horse instrument now inoperable after 16 years of continued service. The capabilities that this instrument possesses are critical for any research programme in materials science.
