TGA Alumina Crucible for Thermogravimetric Analysis | Repeatable High-Temperature Runs

TGA Alumina Crucible Applications

• Laboratory Polymer Decomposition

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. Tight mass-loss repeatability — thin-wall 70–85 µL cups improve response during 10–20 K/min ramps, supporting consistent onset/step readings.
  2. Low background residue — dense Al₂O₃ minimizes cup-derived artefacts when quantifying filler content or char yield.
  3. Controlled volatilization — flat or pierced lids stabilize local atmosphere for additives and low-MW fractions.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  In a weekly QC routine, switching to alumina TGA crucibles with lids reduced reruns caused by volatilization spikes and improved replicate RSD (mass-loss at 600 °C) from ~3% to ~1–1.5%, keeping batch release schedules on time.

• Industrial Inorganic Precursors & Calcination Studies

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. High-temperature headroom — up to 1,600 °C capability accommodates oxide/carbide precursor burn-off and residue checks.
  2. Chemical robustness — alumina cup withstands oxidizing/inert atmospheres used for calcination steps.
  3. Dimensional consistency — controlled rim Ø supports automated placement across sequences.

  ✅ Problem Solved
  For oxide precursor screening in industrial chemical processing, standard 900 µL crucibles enabled longer high-temperature holds without cup deformation, reducing aborted runs by >50% over a month-long test window.

• Medical Biomaterials & Filler Analysis

  ✅ Key Advantages
  1. Accurate residue tracking — alumina crucibles allow precise mass-loss measurement of bone cement fillers and bio-composite residues.
  2. Stable baseline in moisture-sensitive tests — thin-wall cups reach equilibrium quickly, supporting reproducibility in hydrated biomaterials.
  3. Reduced cross-contamination — dense Al₂O₃ surface prevents carryover when analyzing pharmaceutical excipients or implant-grade powders.

  ✅ Problem Solved
  In a medical materials testing facility, switching to alumina TGA crucibles with lids reduced inconsistencies in filler content verification of bio-cements. Repeat test frequency dropped from 4–5 runs per lot to 1–2, ensuring regulatory compliance while saving analyst time.

Alumina TGA Crucibles Usage Instructions

• Before the run

  1. Inspect rim and seating; verify volume and holder fit.
  2. Pre-condition new cups with an empty heat cycle if your SOP requires.
  3. For volatile samples, choose a flat or pierced lid and record total tare.

• During the run

  1. Avoid overfilling; typical fill height ≤ 2/3 depth.
  2. Keep cup centred; confirm auto-sampler clearance.
  3. Use inert tweezers to prevent metal transfer.

• After the run

  Allow to cool in a dust-free area; remove residues mechanically.

• Storage

  Store in a lidded tray with separators; label by batch/volume; avoid cross-contact with steel tools.

• Common mistakes & fixes

  1: baseline drift → check cup deformation, replace thin-wall cups after defined cycles.
  2: lid pop-off → verify seating and avoid overfilled foaming samples.
  3: auto-sampler fault → confirm rim Ø tolerance and tray position.

Alumina Crucible TGA FAQ

1. Q: How to clean alumina crucible TGA?
   A: soak in appropriate solvent if compatible; follow with deionized water rinse and low-temperature bake-out.
2. Q: How to remove iron from alumina crucible TGA?
   A: If minor Fe transfer occurs (from tools), use non-abrasive chelating soak per lab SOP; avoid aggressive grinding that changes mass.
3. Q: Can I order a customized TGA alumina crucible for special depth or ID?
   A: Yes. We support customized TGA alumina crucible requests with drawing-based tolerances; typical lead time communicated after DFM review.
4. Q: Are your cups compatible with TA-type platforms?
   A: Yes, we supply alumina TGA crucibles compatible with the TA instrument well. You can send holder dimensions to confirm fit.
5. Q: What if I need a pierced lid for volatiles?
   A: ADCERAX is a china TGA alumina crucible manufacturer and factory with support for customize according to your drawings and sampling.
6. Q: Can you supply a fair price TGA alumina crucible for laboratory use?
   A: Yes. ADCERAX can supply TGA alumina crucible options at a fair price in standard volumes of 70 µL, 85 µL, 900 µL, and other sizes, along with matching lids. Prices are based on order size and packaging (trial packs or wholesale cartons), ensuring both affordability and consistent quality for research and industrial testing needs.
