TGA-SVR Series...

FULLY AUTOMATIC NAVAS TGA-SVR

Thermogravimetric analyser in NETWORK for multiple TGA units.

1 - Weights and IDs entered with all TGA working (offline) at Server PC.
2 - Weights and IDs transferred automatically to any TGA.
3 - Operator places crucibles in 1 minute in TGA carousel with no weighing at this time.  

1 - Time saved in cooling as samples can be loaded into the TGA at 60-70 ºC.
There is no need to wait until the TGA cools to 34 degrees as the samples and crucibles are all pre-weighed.
2 - Time saved in heating as the start of temperature is around 70 degrees, not 34. 
3 - No time lost weighing at TGA, any number of carousels wih samples can be loaded offline. 

RESULTS ARE AVAILABLE IN A SHORTER TIME, THEREFORE COST PER ANALYSIS IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED, LESS BENCH SPACE NEEDED, SMALLER NUMBER OF TGA INSTRUMENTS NEEDED, REDUCED OPERATOR INVOLVEMENT, REDUCED MAINTENANCE, REDUCED PURCHASING COST.

Operation:

	Operator weighs crucibles & samples in the external balance and enters the identification codes for each samples.
	Operator places crucibles on conveyor.
	Robot picks crucibles from conveyor and inserts in available position in carousel.
	When result of any crucible has been obtained the robot removes this crucible from carousel and drops into reusable crucibles bin.

The user can weigh crucibles and samples during the analysis in the same PC that manages the instrument. It is a multitasking software.

	Samples of different materials can be analysed, there are no samples that conditions the others, the first to finish is the first  to be removed by the robot from the furnace.
	No time spent in heating and cooling to start a new batch, in this instrument the furnace is always hot.
	The user does not make mistakes placing the samples, all the samples are placed one after  the other on the conveyor, it is a FIFO (First in – First out).

Laser Analysis Technologies has further developed the technique known as Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) to achieve rapid and accurate determination of the elemental make-up of most materials. During a measurement a high-power laser is used to induce a bright spark (or plasma) at the surface of the material, the light from which is subsequently analysed by a unique spectrometer and detection system. The technology is sensitive to a wide range of inorganic elements present in materials in addition to key low atomic number elements - such as hydrogen to sodium - which are often not detected by alternative technologies.

TECHNOLOGY 

The Spectrolaser incorporates a high-power laser that induces a bright spark (or plasma) at the surface of the material being analysed, the light from which is subsequently analysed by a unique spectrometer and detection system. The elemental fluorescence is directly related to the concentration of the element in the material being analysed. Superior analytical features are apparent when the Spectrolaser performance is compared to other technologies capable of elemental analysis. In particular, it is sensitive to a wide range of elements present in materials in addition to key low atomic number elements - such as hydrogen and carbon - which are not detected by alternative techniques. The low sample preparation required for analysis enables a high throughput of samples thereby significantly lowering analysis costs. Analysis times have been reduced to approximately 20 seconds for simultaneous determination of the concentration levels of all the detectable elements, which compares favorably to alternative analysis technologies.

Hardware

The Spectrolaser utilises a rapid simultaneous elemental analysis system, which is the subject of a recent patent application. In brief, the instrument incorporates a unique parallel processing design comprising multiple spectrographs and CCD detectors. Each spectrograph is preset to wavelength ranges that encompass the regions of richest elemental fluorescence. By using multiple spectrographs the device achieves wide spectral coverage while maintaining the resolution required to observe the elemental fluorescence with minimal interference. Parallel A/D circuitry ensures the spectral range from each spectrograph is recorded simultaneously in a single laser pulse. Since each grating is fixed, the wavelength calibration remains constant over long periods and the design is sufficiently rugged to be used reliably in field applications.
