Evolved Gas Analysis
This technique can be split into two main areas.
Thermogravimetric Analysis and Mass Spectrometry
Thermogravimetric Analysis and FTIR
These techniques are often used when the identity of an evolved species is unknown and information on this species is required
Typical EGA application areas include :
| Polymers and Materials - safety and thermal stability · |
| Polymers - investigation of decomposition mechanisms |
| Pharmaceuticals - residual solvents in drug preparations |
| Packaging - out-gassing and stability |
