STA 650/1200/1500
AMI is pleased to introduce its next-generation Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer (STA), a state-of-the-art instrument designed for advanced thermal analysis. Incorporating a 0.1-microgram balance resolution, sophisticated control algorithms, and an innovative hang-down design, this analyzer delivers exceptional precision and reliability in an affordable, high-performance system.
The STA Series enables simultaneous Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)/Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) on a single sample within a single run. Built for reliability and precision, the STA delivers comprehensive thermal profiles without the need to run multiple experiments—saving you both time and sample material.
The STA is controlled by the Infinity Pro Thermal Analysis software. This unique Windows-based software offers a very simple interface with all the features you need to analyze your thermal data.
Key Features
- True Hang-Down Balance Design: Industry-leading stability, sensitivity, and long-term drift resistance for reliable and repeatable measurements.
- High Sensitivity Microbalance: Sub-microgram-level accuracy across a broad temperature range.
- 24-Bit Resolution: High-precision measurement of temperature, delta-T, and weight with minimal noise.
- Small Swept Volume Furnace Cup (7.5 mL): Enhances temperature uniformity and gas exchange efficiency.
- Simultaneous TGA / DSC or DTA: Perform thermogravimetric and calorimetric analyses in a single run.
- Dual Purge Gas System: Separate channels for purge and protective gases.
- Broad Temperature Range: Furnace operation up to 1500°C under inert, oxidizing, or reducing gases.
- Motor-Driven Furnace Lift: Automated smooth movement for consistent sample positioning.
