About
Understand how TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) and DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) advance quality testing of biofuel end-products, including fatty acid decomposition at high temperatures, and freezing point determination in hydrocarbon mixtures for SAF applications. You'll learn about the benefits of Pyris™ DSC and HyperDSC®- providing high precision and super fast heating/cooling cycles.  Plus we highlight the role of IR (infrared) and multi-position sample preparation units, which combined with thermal analysis, help you achieve comprehensive fuel and biofuel laboratory workflows.
