As laboratories place greater emphasis on high-accuracy thermal analysis, the performance requirements for both instruments and consumables continue to increase. INNOVA Supplies’s 99% alumina micro crucibles are developed for seamless use with thermal analysis systems such as TGA, DSC, and DTA, offering reliable support for testing small-volume samples across a range of applications.
Manufactured from high-purity alumina, these crucibles combine excellent thermal stability with fast heat response characteristics. This ensures consistent and accurate data acquisition during thermal analysis, even when working with minimal sample quantities.
Key Features and Benefits
– High-purity alumina construction
The use of 99% alumina provides outstanding resistance to high temperatures and chemical corrosion. The crucibles maintain structural integrity under repeated thermal cycling, supporting consistent and reliable test results. They are suitable for applications involving polymers, battery materials, ceramics, and composites.
– Compact design for small sample analysis
Engineered with a miniature form factor, these crucibles are ideal for trace sample testing. Their reduced volume helps minimize sample consumption, while precise handling with tools such as tweezers ensures accurate experimental procedures.
– Consistent thermal performance
Uniform material composition enables stable heat transfer during both heating and cooling cycles. This contributes to improved data reproducibility, particularly in experiments involving rapid temperature changes.
– Flexible size options
A range of capacities is available, from microliter-scale crucibles to sizes suitable for standard laboratory use. This allows users to select the most appropriate specification based on specific testing requirements.
– Customizable shapes
In addition to standard cylindrical designs, customized geometries can be provided to accommodate specialized experimental setups and sample types, offering greater flexibility in laboratory workflows.
Applications
– Compatibility with thermal analysis instruments
These alumina micro crucibles are widely used with thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA), differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), and differential thermal analyzers (DTA). They support both mass change analysis and heat flow measurements, delivering stable performance under high-temperature conditions.
– Laboratory testing across multiple fields
Thanks to their suitability for small sample volumes, they are commonly applied in the analysis of polymers, ceramics, composite materials, battery components, and various chemical substances. By reducing material consumption while maintaining measurement accuracy, they provide an efficient solution for research and routine testing alike.
