“High performance materials require high performance
measurements. Our new products reflect our unwavering commitment to
innovate, and develop powerful new tools for materials scientists,”
said Terry Kelly, Senior Vice President of Waters Corporation and
President, TA Instruments. “The combination of TA Instruments and
Waters can uniquely meet our customers’ demands to characterize
both chemicals structure and materials property. Today’s product
introductions reinforce our innovation differentiation based on
performance, precision, and versatility, supporting a wide array of
applications and measurements.”
New Discovery TMA 450
The Discovery Thermomechanical Analyzer TMA 450 precisely
measures dimensional changes of materials from -150 to 1000°C with
unparalleled sensitivity and reproducibility. Outfitted with a wide
range of fixtures, the TMA 450 handles virtually all sample
configurations for testing in expansion, compression, flexure and
tension modes. Operation is simplified with ease-of-use features
such as the new app-style touch screen interface with
One-Touch-Away™ functionality and powerful TRIOS™ software.
“With the ever-increasing demands for higher performing
materials to meet the needs of challenging applications,
understanding how a material reacts to its environment is more
important than ever,” said Kadine Mohomed, Thermal Product Manager,
TA Instruments. “Exceeding industry standards for testing, the
Discovery TMA 450 provides information about material’s coefficient
of linear thermal expansion, shrinkage, softening, and glass
transition temperatures. Advanced testing capabilities on the
Discovery TMA 450 includes TA’s leading Modulated TMA™ for the
highly efficient separation of simultaneous expansion and
contraction of a material, Dynamic TMA for viscoelastic properties
by small amplitude, fixed-frequency sinusoidal deformation, and
Creep/Stress Relaxation for viscoelastic behavior under transient
conditions. The TMA 450 is particularly useful for measuring these
material properties locally, especially in manufactured components
or assemblies where compatibility of materials is paramount.”
New Rheo-Raman Capability for the Discovery Hybrid
Rheometer
The new Rheo-Raman™ Accessory for the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer
(DHR) product line combines a Raman spectrometer with the DHR to
enable simultaneous collection of rheology and Raman spectroscopy
data. This combination allows for direct correlation between flow
characteristics and the unique spectroscopic fingerprints of each
material including information about its chemical and morphological
structure.
“Rheology is used to characterize material flow properties such
as viscosity and viscoelastic parameters that are important
predictors of processing behavior, product performance, and
consumer perception. Raman spectroscopy is a light-based molecular
spectroscopy technique that reveals chemical bonds and molecular
structure,” said Russell Ulbrich, VP of Product Management, TA
Instruments. “The in-situ combination of these important techniques
will enable scientists to develop a deeper understanding of how
chemical structure drives material properties, and how macroscopic
deformations can have implications at the molecular level. This
will drive deeper understanding and better product development in
markets including plastics, electronics, foodstuffs, and personal
care products.”
The DHR Rheo-Raman Accessory integrates with an iXRTM Raman
Spectrometer from Thermo Fisher ScientificTM to provide a turnkey
system for spectroscopic investigation of materials.
New High Sensitivity Pressure Cell for the ARES-G2
Rheometer
The new High Sensitivity Pressure Cell for their ARES-G2
Rheometer enables scientists to perform sensitive viscoelastic
measurements under controlled atmospheric pressure and temperature
and for the first time, gain detailed understanding of complex
fluid behavior in complex environments.
“Many materials are processed or used at temperatures that are
near or above their atmospheric boiling point; applying elevated
atmospheric pressure is an effective way to suppress this boiling,”
continued Mr. Ulbrich. “While pressurized devices for rheometers
are relatively common, existing devices employ mechanical bearings
that impede measurements of very low viscosity fluids. This is
especially true for accurate determination of viscoelastic
properties that describe a material’s elasticity, ability to
support dispersed phases, and many other traits that are important
to industrial suitability and consumer perception. Such conditions
are especially important in the fields of oil recovery and food
processing.”
BioAccord System Debut at Pittcon
Also making its Pittcon debut is the recently introduced
BioAccord™ System, a purposefully designed liquid
chromatography-mass spectrometry solution that will expand access
to high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry capabilities to
more scientists.
"Following a successful launch of the new BioAccord System, we
are excited by the reactions of our customers," said Jeff Mazzeo,
Vice President, Waters Corporation. "Initial feedback has confirmed
the need to enable more scientists in more locations to generate
high-quality time-of-flight mass spectrometry. In addition to its
ease of operation, customers have been impressed with the ease of
set-up of the BioAccord System, including the industry-first system
integration testing, and its compact size given its analytical
power."
Customers are invited to visit both the TA Instrument booth
#1529 and the Waters booth #1429 for a deeper understanding of our
full line of thermal analysis, rheology, chromatography, mass
spectrometry, chemistry consumables and informatics solutions.
