Gas Analysis / Couplings
(Methods for EGA: Evolved Gas Analysis)

By coupling the thermal analysis instrument with the fast Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (QMS) the detection of gas separation and identification of the separated components are possible in exact time correlation with the other thermal analysis signals. For gas transfer, NETZSCH can rely on more than 30 years experience and can offer you two well-proven coupling systems: the unique SKIMMER as well as the capillary coupling for the new QMS 403 C Aëolos®.

The combination with an FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer) has become an absolute must, especially in the polymer producing, chemical and pharmaceutical industry. For more than 15 years NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing cooperates with the well-known producer of spectrometers Bruker Optik GmbH.
The FTIR coupling is “more than the sum of its parts”. Profit by our intelligent hardware and software concept!

With the unique PulseTA® (pulse thermal analysis) a quantitative gas analyis – both with QMS and with FTIR can be reached.

QMS 403 C Aëolos® - Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
The QMS 403 Aëolos® is a very compact mass spectrometer with a heated capillary inlet system, specially designed for routine analysis of volatile decomposition products of thermal analysis (instrument for EGA: Evolved Gas Analysis).
