Thermal Analysis Consumables

Professional Thermal Analysis Consumables for Research & Industry

Thermal analysis is a cornerstone of materials science, quality control, and research across industries including pharmaceuticals, polymers, metals, ceramics, and food science. Our comprehensive selection of thermal analysis consumables supports DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis), STA (Simultaneous Thermal Analysis), and DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis) applications.

Industry-Leading Compatibility Across All Major Brands

We provide premium-quality consumables compatible with thermal analysis instruments from TA Instruments, PerkinElmer, Netzsch, Mettler Toledo, Shimadzu, Setaram, Hitachi, Rigaku, Linseis, and LECO. Each product is manufactured to exact OEM specifications while offering significant cost savings without compromising analytical precision.

Material Science Excellence

Premium Material Options:

  • Aluminum: Standard choice for DSC analysis (-180°C to 600°C), excellent thermal conductivity
  • Platinum: Ultimate high-temperature performance (up to 1000°C), superior oxidation resistance
  • Ceramic (Alumina): Inert environment analysis, high thermal stability, corrosion resistance
  • Stainless Steel: Medium-temperature applications, mechanical durability
  • Graphite: Specialized high-temperature applications, unique thermal properties
  • Quartz: Ultra-pure analysis, minimal sample interaction

Application-Specific Solutions

Pharmaceutical Industry:

Tzero aluminum pans for precise melting point determination, polymorphism studies, and stability testing. Hermetic sealing options prevent moisture interference in hygroscopic samples.

Polymer Research:

High-volume aluminum crucibles for glass transition temperature measurement, crystallization kinetics, and thermal stability evaluation across diverse polymer matrices.

Above 1000°C Platinum, Graphite Refractory materials, advanced ceramics

Atmosphere Compatibility:

  • Inert Atmosphere (N₂, Ar): All materials suitable
  • Oxidizing Atmosphere (Air, O₂): Aluminum, Platinum, Ceramic recommended
  • Reducing Atmosphere (H₂): Platinum, Ceramic, avoid aluminum at high temperatures
  • Corrosive Environments: Platinum, high-purity alumina ceramic

Sample Preparation Best Practices:

  • Optimal sample mass: 5-15mg for DSC, 10-50mg for TGA
  • Ensure uniform sample distribution for consistent heat transfer
  • Consider particle size effects on thermal response
  • Use appropriate lid sealing for hermetic or vented analysis
  • Clean crucibles thoroughly between uses to prevent contamination

Thermal Analysis Consumables FAQ

Q: How do I choose the right crucible material for my thermal analysis?

A: Material selection depends on your analysis requirements:
Aluminum: Best for DSC analysis (-180°C to 600°C), polymer studies, pharmaceutical applications
Platinum: Essential for high-temperature TGA (up to 1000°C), oxidation studies, catalyst analysis
Ceramic (Alumina): Ideal for chemically reactive samples, corrosive materials, high-temperature stability
Stainless Steel: Good for medium-temperature applications requiring mechanical strength

Q: What's the difference between standard and Tzero aluminum pans?

A: Tzero technology from TA Instruments features:
• Enhanced thermal contact between pan and sensor
• Improved baseline flatness and sensitivity
• Better resolution for closely spaced thermal events

Q: Are your consumables fully compatible with OEM specifications?

A: Yes, our consumables are manufactured to exact OEM dimensional and material specifications. We guarantee:
• Precise dimensional accuracy (±0.01mm tolerance)
• Material composition verification
• Thermal performance equivalence
• Full compatibility with all major thermal analysis instruments

Q: How much can I save compared to OEM consumables?

A: Our compatible consumables typically offer:
• 30-50% cost savings compared to OEM prices
• Bulk purchasing discounts for high-volume users
• Same analytical performance and reliability
• Comprehensive quality certification

Q: What quality certifications do your thermal analysis consumables have?

A: All products undergo rigorous quality control:
• ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification
• Material composition analysis (Certificate of Analysis available)
• Dimensional verification testing
• Thermal performance validation
• Batch traceability for regulatory compliance

Q: Which crucible volume should I choose for my samples?

A: Volume selection guidelines:
20-40μl: Standard for DSC analysis, small sample sizes
90-100μl: TGA applications, larger sample requirements
150-250μl: STA simultaneous analysis, bulk samples
• Consider sample density and thermal conductivity for optimal results

Technical Selection Guide for Optimal Results

Temperature Range Considerations:

Temperature Range Recommended Materials Typical Applications
-180°C to 400°C Aluminum, Stainless Steel Polymer analysis, pharmaceutical studies
400°C to 700°C Ceramic (Alumina), Platinum High-temperature polymers, composites
700°C to 1000°C Platinum, High-purity Alumina Metals, ceramics, catalyst studies
Above 1000°C Platinum, Graphite Refractory materials, advanced ceramics

Atmosphere Compatibility:

  • Inert Atmosphere (N₂, Ar): All materials suitable
  • Oxidizing Atmosphere (Air, O₂): Aluminum, Platinum, Ceramic recommended
  • Reducing Atmosphere (H₂): Platinum, Ceramic, avoid aluminum at high temperatures
  • Corrosive Environments: Platinum, high-purity alumina ceramic

Sample Preparation Best Practices:

  • Optimal sample mass: 5-15mg for DSC, 10-50mg for TGA
  • Ensure uniform sample distribution for consistent heat transfer
  • Consider particle size effects on thermal response
  • Use appropriate lid sealing for hermetic or vented analysis
  • Clean crucibles thoroughly between uses to prevent contamination

Thermal Analysis Consumables FAQ

Q: How do I choose the right crucible material for my thermal analysis?

A: Material selection depends on your analysis requirements:
Aluminum: Best for DSC analysis (-180°C to 600°C), polymer studies, pharmaceutical applications
Platinum: Essential for high-temperature TGA (up to 1000°C), oxidation studies, catalyst analysis
Ceramic (Alumina): Ideal for chemically reactive samples, corrosive materials, high-temperature stability
Stainless Steel: Good for medium-temperature applications requiring mechanical strength

Q: What's the difference between standard and Tzero aluminum pans?

A: Tzero technology from TA Instruments features:
• Enhanced thermal contact between pan and sensor
• Improved baseline flatness and sensitivity
• Better resolution for closely spaced thermal events
• Optimal for precise DSC measurements requiring maximum accuracy

Q: Are your consumables fully compatible with OEM specifications?

A: Yes, our consumables are manufactured to exact OEM dimensional and material specifications. We guarantee:
• Precise dimensional accuracy (±0.01mm tolerance)
• Material composition verification
• Thermal performance equivalence
• Full compatibility with all major thermal analysis instruments

Q: How much can I save compared to OEM consumables?

A: Our compatible consumables typically offer:
• 30-50% cost savings compared to OEM prices
• Bulk purchasing discounts for high-volume users
• Same analytical performance and reliability
• Comprehensive quality certification

Q: What quality certifications do your thermal analysis consumables have?

A: All products undergo rigorous quality control:
• ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification
• Material composition analysis (Certificate of Analysis available)
• Dimensional verification testing
• Thermal performance validation
• Batch traceability for regulatory compliance

Q: Which crucible volume should I choose for my samples?

A: Volume selection guidelines:
20-40μl: Standard for DSC analysis, small sample sizes
90-100μl: TGA applications, larger sample requirements
150-250μl: STA simultaneous analysis, bulk samples
• Consider sample density and thermal conductivity for optimal results
