TGA – IR – GCMS Hyphenation

With this setup, it is possible to combine the analysis techniques TGA, FT-IR and GC-MS via coupling of the devices with a transfer line. The TGA – IR – GC-MS ‘Hyphenation setup’ is a powerful analysis technique to identify complex and unknown materials. Evolving gasses from the TGA are transported via a transfer line through an IR chamber. The gasses can be collected at any given time during the measurement to be injected in the GC-MS. The coupling can be varied to use the setup partially to improve it’s applications. Some of the applications of the hyphenation technique are:

• Identificatie van additieven, zoals weekmakers in diverse kunststoffen
• Het bepalen van de primaire componenten van een materiaal
• Analyseren van onbekende vervuilingen in een materiaal zoals geurstoffen of oplosmiddel
