Soft Matter Facility (SoMF)

Texas A&M University College of Engineering

TA Instrument Discovery Mass Spectrometry

Capabilities:

  • Optimized for evolved gas analysis
  • Mass range: 1-300 amu
  • Mass resolution: >0.5 amu
  • Quadruple detection system with parts per billion (ppb) sensitivity

Blending Gas Delivery Module (GDM):

  • Software-controlled switching and blending of binary mixtures of gases
  • Sorption of gasses onto a material at atmospheric pressure
  • CO2 uptake
  • Compatible with N2, Ar, He, Air, O2, and CO2
  • Redox reactions
  • Thermal stability of materials in a controlled atmosphere

High Resolution Mode for TGA:

  • Separation of broad and overlapping weight losses
  • Increased productivity with better resolution
