ThermoStarTM for coupling to thermobalance
- reactive and condensable gases are detectable even in small concentrations
- minimal contact of medium with metal parts
- temperature-controlled gas line (quartz capillary)
- no chemical reaction
- certain identification of unknown gases
Principle construction of ThermoStarTM with open gas inlet
- heating for conditioning of analysis
- heated gas inlet chamber
- temperature-controlled test gas line
- PrismaTM quadrupole mass spectrometer
QuadStarTM Analysis Software
- qualitative analysis of all gases evolving during thermal analysis
- simultaneous data acquisition from a thermal analyzer via Analog Input Module (e.g. temperature, sample weight, differential weight loss)
- presentation of mass spectrometric data as a function of the thermobalance temperature
- convenient data evaluation supported by a spectrum library, statistical and magnifying functions
- data exchange with other programs via binary code or ASCII files; QuadStarTM also supports DDE.
