Evolved Gas Analysis

Live Webinar: Evolved Gas Analysis Complements TGA by Characterizing Decomposition Products and Volatiles

Program Overview

  • Why Use Evolved Gas Analysis?
  • Principles of TGA-EGA (MS, FTIR, GC/MS, Micro GC/MS)
  • Applications
  • Summary

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) provides quantitative information on the change in mass of a sample as a function of time or temperature. TGA alone, however, cannot identify or characterize the gaseous products evolved during a measurement. 

The combination of TGA with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy or micro gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (respectively FTIR spectroscopy, MS, GC/MS; Micro GC(/MS) allows the nature of the gaseous reaction products formed in the TGA to be investigated online.

In this webinar, we will discuss the main applications of TGA-EGA systems and the advantages and limitations of each technique.
