Ta q500 thermogravimetric analyzer

Manufactured by TA Instruments
Sourced in United States

The TA Q500 Thermogravimetric Analyzer is a laboratory instrument designed to measure the change in the mass of a sample as a function of temperature or time. It is used to analyze the thermal stability and composition of materials. The Q500 can precisely measure mass changes with high sensitivity and can operate over a wide temperature range.

6 protocols using ta q500 thermogravimetric analyzer

1

Thermal Decomposition Analysis via TGA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thermogravimetric
analysis (TGA) was performed using a TA Q500 Thermogravimetric Analyzer.
The decomposition temperatures, weight change, and the residue left
are evaluated from the weight change of the specimens with the increase
in temperature. Approximately 15 mg of sample was placed on the platinum
pan and heated at a rate of 10 °C/min from 30 to 800 °C
for the analysis under a nitrogen atmosphere.

Thermogravimetric Analysis of Biopolymer-Coated MWNTs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The thermal profiles of the samples were recorded using a TA Q500 thermogravimetric analyzer (USA). The samples were scanned over a temperature range from room temperature to 1000 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C/min under a nitrogen dynamic flow rate of 40 mL/min. To estimate the wt% of the biopolymer coated onto MWBA, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was also performed on blank MWNT-COOH coated with the respective hydrophilic biopolymers. A set of four samples designated as MWNT-CS, MWNT-PG, MWNT-T2 and MWNT-T8 were synthesized identically using a similar method as described in Section 2.3 above. The estimated biopolymer content in the samples was found to be around 8.01, 9.13, 18.96 and 59.18 wt% for MWNT-CS, MWNT-PG, MWNT-T2 and MWNT-T8, respectively, as compared to the blank MWNT-COOH. All samples were dried at 60 °C for 24 h to remove the moisture adsorbed on the surface of the samples before carrying out the analysis.

Biocatalyst Characterization of Chitosan and Graphite

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
High purity sodium hydroxide (NaOH), ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH, 25%), and acetic acid were purchased from Merck. Chitosan with a 75%–85% degree of deacetylation was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Graphite flakes were purchased from Ashbury Graphite Mill Inc. The characterizations of the biocatalysts were performed using an FEI Nova NanoSEM 400 field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Philips X-Ray diffractometer (XRD), Renishaw inVia Raman microscope, and TA-Q500 thermo-gravimetric analyzer.

Thermogravimetric Analysis of Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A TA Q500 Thermogravimetric
Analyzer was used for the thermogravimetric analysis. All samples
were analyzed using a platinum pan in the presence of air. Experimental
parameters were as follows: 10 min isothermal hold at room temperature,
ramp from room temperature to 1000 °C at 10 °C/min, followed
by a final 10 min isothermal hold at 1000 °C. Piping was used
to exhaust gas safely into a fumehood.

Thermal Analysis of Material Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed using a TA Q500 Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA). Each sample (approximately 10 mg) was placed in platinum pans. Thermal analysis was complemented by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), using a DSC 204 F1 Phoenix equipment (Netzsch, Selb, Germany). Each sample (5e10 mg) was placed in aluminum pans. The TGA and DSC thermograms were recorded over the 35e500 C range, under a heating rate of 10 C/min.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
