DetailsMilford, Massachusetts, January 22, 2025 – Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) today announced the launch of TGA Smart-Seal™ Pans from its TA Instruments Division. The innovative, self-opening sample container is designed to enable analysis of atmosphere-sensitive samples in laboratory benchtop-installed Discovery™ Series Thermogravimetric Analyzers (TGA).
DetailsOverview In this tech tip, we will show how to prepare a sample for use in a TGA Smart-Seal Pan.
DetailsPolymers are everywhere, from components making up the electronic device you’re reading this on to life-saving medical devices, energy efficient solar panels, and lightweight aero or auto components. Material scientists and engineers continue to improve high-performance polymers for strength, durability, and stability under demanding applications.
DetailsIn the world of material science, understanding the viscoelastic properties of materials is crucial for developing and optimizing products. Two key parameters in this context are storage modulus (E’ or G’) and loss modulus (E” or G”). These parameters provide insights into a material’s stiffness and damping characteristics, respectively, which are essential for applications ranging from polymers and pharmaceuticals to batteries and composites.
DetailsOverview In this Tech Tip, we will calibrate the Film/Fiber Probe on the Discovery TMA 450.
DetailsThe TA RS-DSC is a revolutionary new high-throughput thermal stability testing instrument specifically designed for biologic drug development.
DetailsElectrode slurries are paste-like mixtures made up of active materials, conductive additives, and a binder. The conductive additives must be electrically conducted to the current collector. However, binder is necessary for getting the active materials to stick together and adhere to the current collector.
