STA PT1600 Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer｜High-Temperature TGA-DSC Integrated Thermal Analysis System
The STA PT1600 is a high-end simultaneous thermal analyzer that combines TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) in a single system. It provides ultra-high resolution signals for both mass change and heat flow. The system is based on a modular design and supports multiple interchangeable furnaces covering a wide temperature range from -150°C up to 2400°C. Various sensor types and crucible materials are available, making the system suitable for a wide range of material research applications.
With synchronized TG, TG-DTA, and TG-DSC configurations, the STA PT1600 enables the study of phase transitions, reaction enthalpy, specific heat capacity (Cp), thermal decomposition, and thermal stability. The vacuum-sealed measurement chamber supports both dynamic and static atmospheres, and can be coupled with MS, FTIR, or EGA for evolved gas analysis. It is well suited for R&D, high-temperature material analysis, and various engineering applications.
