Description
To the point
The LINSEIS STA PT 1000 top-loading thermobalance consists of a digital balance and a sample holder with integrated thermocouple.
The thermobalance enables the measurement of samples with a weight of 5 or 10g (including measuring system).
The specially developed oven enables fast heating and cooling rates as well as highly accurate temperature control.
A variety of sample carriers (TG, TG-DTA and TG-DSC) and sample crucibles ensure optimum measuring conditions for every application.
Special features:
- Top pan submicrogram scale
- Temperature range RT to 1000°C
- Interchangeable measuring system TG – DTA/DSC
- Optional sample robot with up to 84 positions
Optional MS (quadrupole mass spectrometer) and/or FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectrometer) coupling is possible at any time.

Software
Making values visible and comparable
The powerful LINSEIS thermal analysis software, which is based on Microsoft® Windows®, performs the most important function in the preparation, execution and evaluation of thermoanalytical experiments, in addition to the hardware used.
With this software package, Linseis offers a comprehensive solution for programming all device-specific settings and control functions, as well as for data storage and evaluation.
The package was developed by our in-house software specialists and application experts and has been tried and tested over many years.

Applications
Application example: Aspirin
At the beginning of the heating process, some adsorbed water is released, resulting in a weight loss of about 1 %.
At 140°C the melting point of the aspirin is reached, resulting in an endothermic reaction, measured on the DTA trace.
At 60°C, decomposition of the molten drug takes place in several stages.
The decomposition products are volatile, resulting in a total weight loss of almost 100 %.
