TG-IR-GC/MS: Thermogravimetric - Infrared - Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry

Hyphenating TG-IR-GC/MS is a powerful approach for analysis of an unknown mixture to determine its primary components and identify additives or contaminants. This information may be needed to evaluate a competitor’s product, determine compliance with regulations, or understand a material’s composition. The TG-IR-GC/MS configuration enables TG-IR-GC/MS analysis on a sample by moving every component in the off gases to the FT-IR and/or GC/MS after their evolution in the TGA while maintaining complete sample integrity.

A few advantages of this system include:

• Performance- all the benefits of individual TG-IR and TG-GC/MS systems
• Ability to collect real-time FT-IR data while carrying out the survey scan used to GC/MS data collection
• Possibility of using each technique as stand-alone or in any combination
