The Thermal Activity Monitor (TAM) is a high resolution, real-time method for monitoring chemical, biological, and physical reaction process(es) occurring in a sample. The monitoring of heat flow over time allows for determination of the various reaction processes that may occur in a sample over minutes, hours, days, weeks, or years. Samples can be measured under user defined conditions, to control temperature, atmosphere, as well as sample composition.

Key Features

  • Modular system that can be adapted by the researcher to control the sample and sample environment
  • Capability to precisely set temperature within 100uC over a minimum of 24-hours
  • Interchangeable accessories allow for RH, liquid and gas perfusion, liquid titration, addition of solids or pastes, dissolution, pressure monitoring, and electric charge
  • Enables researchers to test materials and products under accelerated or during  operation conditions

The vacuum/pressure ampoules are designed for simultaneously monitoring heat flow and any changes in gas pressure in the ampoule.

 

Key Features

  • Simultaneous measurement of heat flow and pressure up to 10 bar offers reliable safety assessment information on unstable energetic systems
  • Built-in relief valves for safe measurements
  • Choice of Nanocalorimeter (4 mL) or Microcalorimeter/Multicalorimeter (20 mL), depending on sample requirements
  • Optional ampoule holding scaffolding and manifold for easy manipulation or management of initial pressure or vacuum above sample
  • Instrument of choice for performing standard methods for energetic material testing
  • Highest sensitivity for detecting even small amounts of evolved gas

TAM IV-48 is a high-throughput version of the TAM IV and can accommodate up to 48 individual 4 mL Minicalorimeters.

The large number of independent and parallel sample-measurements makes this system the optimal solution for sample screening, formulation, and process development. It is equally useful in research laboratories as in industrial laboratories including pharmaceutical production control.

 

Key Features

  • New and more responsive temperature control provides rapid thermal equilibration and extended temperature range of 4 °C to 150 °C for real-world cold storage applications
  • Unmatched temperature stability for accurate heat flow measurement in experiments that last anywhere from a few hours to days and weeks
  • 48 calorimeter positions that can be equipped with up to 48 4 mL Minicalorimeters, each of which operates simultaneously and independently for high-throughput microcalorimetric measurements
