The Shimadzu TOC-L analyzers is an essential tool in environmental science and can be used to analyze a variety of carbon species total carbon (TC), organic carbon (TOC), non-purgable organic carbon (NPOC), inorganic carbon (IC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in liquid or solid samples using catalytic oxidation. Additional module provides total nitrogen (TN) analysis in water samples.
Sample: Drinking, waste, and seawater, soil, and sediment. Minimum of 50 ml for liquid and 5 g for solid.

Simultaneous Thermal Analysis generally refers to the simultaneous application of Thermogravimetry (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to one and the same sample in one instrument. The test conditions are perfectly identical for the TGA and DSC signals (same atmosphere, gas flow rate, vapor pressure on the sample, heating rate, thermal contact to the sample crucible and sensor, radiation effect, etc.). Furthermore, it improves sample throughput as more information is gathered from each test run. It also has a QMS Mass spectrometer for further identification of evolved gases.

Furthermore, it improves sample throughput as more information is gathered from each test run. STA instrument can be also coupled with Humidity Generator. In this case, the humidified gas produced in the generator is transferred to the STA via a heated transfer line. The humidified gas can be used from 2 % to 98 % relative humidity. Measurements under conditions of controlled relative humidity provide information that is crucial for understanding the effects that moisture content can have on the properties of a wide range of materials. Users can also simultaneously measure sorption enthalpies and analyze the sorption results.

Laser Flash Diffusivity Testing Apparatus (LFA 447)
The flash technique is one of the most widely used methods for the determination of the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of solids all over the world. Using this method, the front side of a plane-parallel sample with a well defined thickness is heated by a short light or laser pulse. The resulting temperature rise on the back surface is measured versus time using an infrared detector. Analyzing the measured detector signal with appropriate mathematical models yields information on thermal diffusivity and the specific heat of a material. Together with the density of the material the thermal conductivity can be determined. Additionally, analysis of multi-layer systems or the measurement of liquids is possible by the flash method.

The Karl Fisher titrator uses coulometric titration to determine trace amounts of water in a sample, from ppm to 5%. A stromboli oven is available for samples that are unable to be directly added into the titration vessel.

Planetary Ball Mills are used wherever the highest degree of fineness is required. Apart from the classical mixing and size reduction processes, the mills also meet all the technical requirements for colloidal grinding and have the energy input necessary for mechanical alloying processes. The extremely high centrifugal forces of a planetary ball mill result in very high pulverization energy and therefore short grinding times.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a type of mass spectrometry which is capable of detecting metals at low concentrations

Detection of metals at low concentration using inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS) technique.

Viscosity is a critical characteristic of petroleum samples, bio-diesels, polymers, ionic liquids to evaluate the resistance of fluids to flow or stress. The instrument is capable of handling high temperature and at elevated pressure of polymers, petrochemicals, and many different challenging matrices in less than a minute run. This instrument will reduce the amount of sample to use and waste. The sample tube module is sealed to protect the users from hazardous sample.

Quantitative and qualitative determination of metals in given matrix. Sample and calibration curve preparations are required prior to analysis.
