More New Features for Advanced Applications
An Automatic Sample Changer (ASC) is always a useful accessory to improve the reliability of comparative studies, by minimizing the risk of human error in sample handling, and, of course, to optimize sample throughput with overnight operations.
The STA 20-sample-positions ASC is now extended with an optional piercing device to open aluminium crucible lids shortly before the measurement starts. This new tool is relevant to handle, for instance, moisture-sensitive materials, like those used in batteries or pharmaceutical applications.
When measuring in a humid atmosphere with the vapor or copper furnace, the new gas switch valve system provides the capability of seamlessly switching between humid and dry atmospheres during a measurement. This flexibility is crucial for experiments requiring precise control over environmental conditions, ensuring accurate and reliable data.
For the ever-challenging materials testing under a hydrogen atmosphere, the NETZSCH STA 509 Jupiter® can be extended with the newly introduced H₂Secure system: a complete solution for experiments in variable hydrogen environments, while maintaining the highest possible safety standards.
This innovative concept allows for research in pure hydrogen atmospheres as well as controlled dilution of hydrogen in inert carrier gases (i.e., nitrogen or argon).
Thanks to the above-mentioned STA flexible concept, the user can decide to dedicate one furnace to the H₂Secure operation, thus keeping the second one for other routine tasks.
