TA Instruments’ industry-leading software streamlined for polymer use. Guided Methods for polymer applications is available on the Differential Scanning Calorimeter, Thermogravimetric Analyzer, and Discovery Hybrid Rheometer and offers pre-made workflow solutions. From setting up instruments, geometries, and samples to automating analysis and reporting, new users can effectively use instrumentation with minimal training.
Guided Methods provides walk up and use functionality by codifying polymer workflows. Through leveraging OneTouch view and the power of AutoPilot, new users need significantly less training to set up test methods, run tests, and execute analysis.
- Improves productivity by significantly reducing training time for new users
- Easy-to-follow interactive and visual guidelines for experimental setup and method development
- Preconfigured experiment templates that can be customized to meet your specific testing needs
- Improved intra-lab and inter-lab precision of critical analytical measurements
- Automate post-test analysis and reporting of product relevant KPIs
Guided Methods for Initial Crystallinity, Glass Transitions, Percent Cure, and Thermal Transitions provide an easy-to-use interface for new users to obtain desired results with minimal training.
Initial Crystallinity
- Preconfigured ramp templates with customizable ramp rates and start/end temperatures
