TA INSTRUMENTS, the world leader in thermal analysis, rheometer and microcalorimetry systems, has always been a pioneer and innovative and has aimed to provide more solutions to its customers by constantly adding new products and innovations in existing products to its portfolio. TA INSTRUMENTS, whose products include thermal conductivity and expansion devices, is headquartered in New Castle, Delaware. TA INSTRUMENTS responds to the needs of a wide range of customers from the defense industry to the pharmaceutical industry, from polymers to cement, from food to rubber-tyre industry.
Thermal Analysis is important to a wide variety of industries, including polymers, composites, pharmaceuticals, foods, petroleum, inorganic and organic chemicals, and many others. These instruments typically measure heat flow, weight loss, dimension change, or mechanical properties as a function of temperature. Properties characterized include melting, crystallization, glass transitions, cross-linking, oxidation, decomposition, volatilization, coefficient of thermal expansion, and modulus. These experiments allow the user to examine end-use performance, composition, processing, stability, and molecular structure and mobility. All TA Instruments thermal analysis instruments are manufactured to exacting standards and with the latest technology and processes for the most accurate, reliable, and reproducible data available. Multiple models are available based on needs; suitable for high sensitivity R&D as well as high throughput quality assurance. Available automation allows for maximum unattended laboratory productivity in all test environments. As the world leader in Thermal Analysis for over 50 years, TA Instruments brings technical expertise in thermal analysis measurements and provides a world-renowned global support network that is specialized in thermal analysis.
Rheology is the study of flow and deformation of materials. Deformation and flow are referred to as strain or strain rate, respectively, and indicate the distance over which a body moves under the influence of an external force, or stress. For this reason, rheology is also considered to be the study of stress-strain relationships in materials. A rheometer is a precision instrument that contains the material of interest in a geometric configuration, controls the environment around it, and applies and measures wide ranges of stress, strain, and strain rate. TA Instruments’ Discovery Hybrid Rheometer is the world’s most versatile platform for rheological measurements. The ARES-G2 is the most advanced rotational rheometer for research and material development. Both platforms have a full range of environmental systems and measurement accessories, powered by SmartSwap™ technology for fast exchange and automatic configuration.
TA Instruments’ Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Isothermal Calorimetry systems are powerful analytical techniques for in-depth characterization of molecular binding events and structural stability. Thermodynamic binding signatures not only reveal the strength of a binding event, but the specific or nonspecific driving forces involved. Structural stability profiles from DSC reveal strengths and weaknesses in higher order structure and define the behavior of individual domains and their interactions. The TA Instruments Affinity ITC, Nano ITC and Nano DSC provide the performance, reliability and ease-of-use required for the most demanding applications in drug discovery, protein-protein interactions, structure-function characterization and more.
"A dilatometer is a precision instrument for the measurement of dimensional changes in material as a function of temperature. Dilatometry can be used to test a wide range of material including traditional and advanced ceramics, glasses, metals, and polymers. It provides measurements of a wide variety of properties including linear thermal expansion, coefficient of thermal expansion, sintering temperature, shrinkage steps, phase transitions, density change, softening point and decomposition temperature, anisotropic behavior, and glass transition temperature.
No single dilatometer can effectively and precisely meet the testing requirements of such a wide range of materials and material property measurements. Only TA Instruments offers a complete line of horizontal, vertical, and optical dilatometers and can provide the right instrument to match your needs no matter the application.
"We provide the most extensive and comprehensive range of instruments for the precise and accurate measurement of heat transfer properties of a wide range of material types and temperatures.
Thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity define a material’s ability to store and transfer heat. The precise and accurate measurement of these properties is critical for any process or material, which experiences a large or fast temperature gradient, or for which the tolerance for temperature change is exacting."
TA Instruments offers the most compelling range of benchtop and floor-standing Laser and Xenon Light Flash Diffusivity Analyzers measuring thermal diffusivity by the flash method from -150°C up to 2800°C. All systems include multiple specimen testing capability that provides several times increase in productivity. Full time pulse mapping, precision optics, and the latest data analysis models make the Discovery Flash platform the most accurate and precise system of its kind.
