Product details
The main application of the STA/TG-G-MS combined system is the detection, separation, and analysis of organic components.
Gas chromatography (GC) is a high-resolution analytical technique used to separate volatile and semi volatile products. Gas mixtures are effectively separated based on the difference in component distribution between the static phase (such as the internal coating of capillaries) and the mobile phase (blowing gas, such as He). Due to the time required for gas separation in the chromatographic column (which depends on sample characteristics, column flow rate, column length, and static and mobile phases), it is not possible to directly connect a continuous online sample gas stream to the GC.

Our solution is to develop a direct combination of quasi continuous mode using a heated automatic valve, allowing software controlled gaseous injection (flow through injection cycle) and short interval gas injection.
Our cooperative brand is the world-renowned GC-MS supplier Agilent and Jeol. They provided comprehensive GC-MS supply and service quality that fully met Netzsch's expectations. This ensures the optimal performance of our combined system.

Examples of STA/TG-G-MS Applications
The main purpose of TG-GC-MS combination is to detect, separate, and analyze organic components. Detailed gas analysis can also be conducted using GC-MS in combination to further investigate the thermal cracking processes of organic matter, biomass, reusable solid fuels, carbon materials, and polymers under controlled temperature programs in TG/STA. Thus, it is possible to measure the gaseous products released during combustion of samples at different oxygen contents with high sensitivity and resolution.
With the highly sensitive gas detection and identification capabilities of GC-MS, it is possible to effectively analyze residual solvents in additives, stabilizers, as well as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and polymers.
Decomposition of natural rubber
The following figure shows the TG-DTG-TIC diagram of uncured natural rubber (NR). 3.36 mg, N2, Inject the escaping gas continuously at 1-minute intervals. Maintain a constant high temperature in the GC column to allow the gas mixture to quickly pass through and effectively separate its main components.

Maintain a constant high temperature in the GC column to allow the gas mixture to quickly pass through and effectively separate its main components.

At the starting point of NR decomposition (32 min, 346.3 ° C), the main volatile products are isoprene C5H8 (peak 1 of TIC chromatogram) and 1-methyl-4- (1-methylethenyl) - cyclohexene C10H16 (peak 2).

In continuous GC-MS mode, the relationship between gas volatilization and temperature/time was displayed. You can choose a separate mass number (m/z) to continuously plot the temperature (single ion monitoring, SIM)
The second stage of NR decomposition (starting at 38 min, 406.2 ° C) showed the release process of products other than isoprene and substituted cyclohexexene. Through analysis, it is found that these gas products include: 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene (C7H10, 94 m/z), 1-methylene-2-vinylcyclopentane (C8H12, 108 m/z), and beta humulene (C15H24, 204 m/z).
