Technology is rapidly advancing. Whether you upgrade old equipment or add a new technique to your bench, using cutting-edge instrumentation is sure to enhance your lab’s efficiency and results. Today’s instruments offer more reliable data and advanced features, both of which are crucial for staying at the forefront of material innovation.

But how can you upgrade your instrument for the best return on investment while minimizing downtime? Here are 4 ways to make your lab upgrade seamless and easy.

Replacing a tried and true instrument with the newest model is one of the easiest ways to improve your lab’s results. Even better, you can trade in your old instrument for a discount on your upgrade.

The TA Instruments Q Series Thermal Analyzers revolutionized testing in 2000, and the Discovery Series continues their legacy with improved measurement and ease-of-use. Users can trade in their Q Series DSC, TGA, DMA, SDT, or TMA instruments or competitive models and save on a new Discovery series thermal analyzer. The Discovery series offers unparalleled sensitivity and accuracy to detect the smallest changes in your sample, coupled with a revolutionized user experience through the robust TRIOS software.

Similarly, you can trade in a TA Instruments AR Rheometer or competitive model and save on a new Discovery Hybrid Rheometer. Upgrading to a DHR offers a world of difference – users can measure lower viscosities and smaller stresses using less sample thanks to the DHR’s superior torque sensitivity. And its hybrid capabilities are a game changer: perform shear rheology, tack/peel tests, and extensional viscosity, plus test tension, bending, and compression on the only rheometer with integrated linear DMA. The DHR’s wide range of capabilities and accessories, including compatibility with a number of AR accessories, futureproofs your lab for any test you might need.

In addition to saving cost, trading in your thermal analyzer or rheometer is easy and pays off:

• Transition smoothly by carrying over existing historical data and operational procedures
• Reduce bottlenecks with the new “walk away” autosampler (available on select thermal analyzer models)
• Minimize training time with TRIOS software built for ease-of-use at every user level
• Improve data confidence with reliable results and improved accuracy
• Expand lab capabilities with new features and testing options
