Simultaneous Thermal Analysis (STA, Netzsch 407) with IR and MS

The Netzsch STA 407 is a powerful thermal analysis system that combines thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) over a wide temperature range from –150°C to 1500°C.

STA, Netzsch 407 with IR and MS

Key features:

  • Dual furnaces (high temperature and cryogenic) enabling analysis over a wide temperature range of –150°C to 1500°C
  • Equipped with a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) with a heated capillary inlet for qualitative and quantitative analysis of evolved gases
  • Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) coupling system for qualitative identification of gaseous decomposition products
  • Provides real-time analysis of heat flow, mass changes, and gas evolution

This system is ideal for studying thermal reactions in energy storage materials, including decomposition, oxidation, and other thermochemical processes.
