The STA 319 Jupiter® is part of NETZSCH's Jupiter® range of STAs and offers several advantages:
Temperature range of 10°C (RT) to 1025°C (or up to 1100°C): ideal for polymer, life science and inorganic measurements.
Robust water-cooled ceramic furnace for fast heating and cooling.
Advanced top-loading microbalance: Provides an impressive 20-ng resolution for long-term, high-quality measurements.
Revolutionary ring sample holder design: eliminates the need for a standard reference crucible. Enables quick setup and minimizes handling errors.
Defined atmospheric conditions thanks to vacuum-tight design.
Coupling to gas analysis enables real-time identification of the composition of evolved gases.
Magnetic Shock Absorbers
An optional magnetic levitation device can be used to elevate the instrument off the work bench. This eliminates the effect of external factors such as vibrations and contact, thus decreasing the number of measurements needed to produce reliable results.
Method
STA combines these two measurement methods by simultaneously recording weight change and heat flow of a sample. A small amount of the material is placed in a special container and is then heated or cooled. The STA instrument records both the weight changes and the heat absorbed or released by the sample. This method is particularly useful because it provides detailed data on the thermal properties and composition of a material, and its efficiency saves time and sample material.
STA is used in quality control, research and development, and failure analysis. It is essential for studying the behavior of polymers, pharmaceuticals, food,
