TG-IR-GC-MS Testing Service

TG-IR-GC-MS Testing Service

Thermogravimetric Infrared Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (TG-IR-GC-MS) testing represents a cutting-edge analytical method that delivers a thorough evaluation of material characteristics, especially within environmental analysis settings. By combining thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), this technique offers a comprehensive insight into the composition, thermal properties, and chemical structure of materials.

Principles of TG-IR-GC-MS Testing

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)

TGA serves as a pivotal thermal analysis method that tracks changes in sample mass relative to temperature or time. This technique is essential for assessing the thermal stability, decomposition temperature, and mass loss behaviors of materials.

Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)

Utilized for the identification and analysis of chemical compounds, IR spectroscopy examines the specific frequencies absorbed by molecules, corresponding to the vibrations of their chemical bonds. This non-destructive approach offers intricate insights into the molecular structure and functional groups within a sample.

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)

GC-MS stands out as a robust tool for separating and identifying volatile and semi-volatile compounds. The gas chromatography segment segregates compounds based on their volatility, while mass spectrometry delivers detailed data on their molecular weight and structure.

Advantages of TG-IR-GC-MS Testing

  • Comprehensive Analysis: TG-IR-GC-MS offers a holistic view of a material's properties, including thermal stability, chemical composition, and molecular structure.
  • High Sensitivity and Resolution: The combined techniques allow for the detection of trace-level components and provide high-resolution data for accurate compound identification.
  • Simultaneous Data Acquisition: The integrated approach enables the collection of multiple data sets simultaneously, streamlining the analytical process and saving time.
  • Versatility: This method is applicable to a wide range of materials, including polymers, additives, and environmental samples, making it a versatile tool for various industries.
  • Non-Destructive: IR spectroscopy, in particular, allows for the analysis of samples without altering their physical or chemical properties.
