EGA gas analysis

Couplings for thermal analysis

Couplings / Evolved Gas Analysis (EGA)

By coupling the thermal analyzer (for example a thermobalance TGA or Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer STA (TGA+DSC)) with the fast quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) or FTIR spectrometer (Fourier Tansform Infrared), it is possible to detect the gas separation and identify the separated components in exact temporal correlation with the other thermal analysis signals.

With the unique pulse analysis, even a quantitative gas analysis – both with QMS and FTIR – can be achieved.

Thanks to these couplings, Linseis can offer extremely high-performance solutions for thermal analysis, including residual gas analysis.

Our EGA devices

Typical couplings in simultaneous analysis:

  • TG-DSC-MS (Thermogravimetry, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, mass spectrometer)
  • TGA-MS (thermobalance coupled with mass spectrometer)
  • TG-DSC-GC/MS (thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, gas chromatography / mass spectrometer)

Analytical techniques for coupling with thermal analyzers Coupling can be performed using various gas analysis methods:

  • FT-IR spectroscopy
  • Quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS)
  • ELIF spectroscopy (excimer laser-induced fragmentation fluorescence)
  • Gas chromatography

The thermal analyzer can be coupled to the spectrometer/chromatograph in various ways:

  • Heated transfer capillary (FTIR, GCMS, GC, MS)
  • Sniffer coupling (GCMS, GC, MS)
  • Optical in-situ observation (ELIF)
