The Q500 is a research-grade thermogravimetric analyzer. Its field-proven performance arises from a responsive low-mass furnace, ultrasensitive thermobalance, and efficient horizontal purge gas system with mass flow control. Excellent for low-level detection of impurities, kinetic studies,off-gas analysis, and for high heating rate operation. Its design integrates a thermobalance engineered for maximum baseline flatness and high sensitivity, with the power and flexibility of an infrared furnace, and a proven horizontal purge gas system. The Q5000 IR surpasses other models with its new infrared furnace that offers the widest range of linear (0.1 to 500˚C/min) and ballistic (>2000˚C/min) heating rates from ambient to 1200˚C.
