Product Overview

Introduction

AMI is pleased to introduce its next-generation Simultaneous Thermal Analyzer (STA), a state-of-the-art instrument designed for advanced thermal analysis. Incorporating a 0.1-microgram balance resolution, sophisticated control algorithms, and an innovative hang-down design, this analyzer delivers exceptional precision and reliability in an affordable, high-performance system.

The STA Series enables simultaneous Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)/Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) on a single sample within a single run. Built for reliability and precision, the STA delivers comprehensive thermal profiles without the need to run multiple experiments—saving you both time and sample material.

Engineered for quality control, routine testing, academic research, and industrial R&D, the STA Series combines robust construction with user-friendly intuitive software, offering a cost-effective solution for high-precision thermal analysis.

The STA is controlled by the Infinity Pro Thermal Analysis software. This unique Windows based software offers a very simple interface with all the features you need to analyze your thermal data.

Features

True Hang-Down Balance Design

Industry-leading stability, sensitivity, and long-term drift resistance for reliable and repeatable measurements without the need for buoyancy corrective experiments.

High Sensitivity Microbalance

Sub-microgram-level accuracy across a broad temperature range, providing confidence in your thermal and mass loss data.

24-Bit Resolution

High-precision measurement of temperature, delta T, and weight with minimal noise and high digital fidelity.

Small Swept Volume Furnace Cup (7.5mL)

Enhances temperature uniformity and gas exchange efficiency.

Simultaneous TGA/DSC or DTA

Perform thermogravimetric and calorimetric analyses in a single run— ideal for decomposition, oxidation, and phase transitions.

Dual Purge Gas System

Separate channels for purge and protective gases allow for fine control of the experimental atmosphere.

Broad Temperature Range

Furnace operation up to 1500°C under inert, oxidizing, or reducing gas environments.

Motor-Driven Furnace Lift

Ensures automated, smooth movement of the furnace for consistent sample positioning.

Examples

Barium Chloride

This is an example of a reference material that shows temperature and enthalpy accuracy. In addition, this represents a good example of a fused peak analysis.

Calcium Oxalate

Calcium Oxalate is an excellent demonstration material for both DSC and TGA. This sample was run in the presence of Oxygen. The first DSC peak has an associated weight loss and represents bound water.
