Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) can quantify thermal decomposition under nitrogen or air, at temperatures of up to 1000 °C. It can be used to analyze gas phase decomposition products when used with our Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) accessory. The system can determine precise compositions of organic/inorganic hybrid systems, or can be used to calculate the moisture content of hydrogels and other solids.
