FAQ's of Mettler Toledo Thermal Analysis System TGA 2:
Q: How does the TGA 2 handle different atmospheric conditions during analysis?
A: The TGA 2 accommodates both static and dynamic atmospheres, allowing users to perform analyses in either inert or oxidizing conditions. Integrated gas flow control enables precise management of up to three different gases during measurements.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the TGA 2 for thermal analysis?
A: The TGA 2 offers high-precision measurements, automated weight calibration, rapid heating and cooling, and multi-language support. Its compliance with regulatory standards (GLP/GMP and 21 CFR Part 11) and compatibility with various sample pans provide versatility and reliability for laboratory applications.
Q: When is it recommended to use aluminum, platinum, or ceramic crucibles with the TGA 2?
A: Choice of crucible depends on the sample's thermal and chemical properties. Aluminum is often used for standard samples, platinum for high-temperature or reactive samples, and ceramic for corrosive materials or specific analyses demanding chemical inertness.
Q: Where can the TGA 2 be installed, and what are its space requirements?
A: The TGA 2 should be installed in laboratories with an ambient temperature of 15C to 35C. It requires a space of at least 410 x 210 x 360 mm for the instrument alone and access to AC electrical supply (100-240 V, 50/60 Hz).
Q: What types of materials or samples can be analyzed with the TGA 2?
A: The TGA 2 is ideal for analyzing polymers, pharmaceuticals, metals, inorganic and organic materials, and more, due to its wide temperature range and crucible compatibility.
Q: How does the TGA 2 ensure data integrity and regulatory compliance?
A: The fully automated system utilizes the STARe Software Suite, providing secure data management, traceability, and electronic records in accordance with 21 CFR Part 11 as well as GLP/GMP guidelines.
Q: What is the typical process for conducting a thermal gravimetric analysis using the TGA 2?
A: Prepare the sample in a compatible crucible, load it into the instrument, set the desired temperature program and atmosphere using the touchscreen and software, and initiate the measurement. The TGA 2 automatically controls the environment, records data, and calibrates as needed for accuracy.
