Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces PerkinElmer's Simultaneous Thermal Analyzers (STA) 6000 and 8000, highlighting their compact design and dual thermal capabilities. These instruments are designed for real-time measurement and analysis of sample weight change and heat flow, suitable for various applications including inorganic characterization, polymer analysis, and oil testing.

Specifications and Features
The STA instruments feature a compact furnace for improved temperature control, fast cool-down, and precise measurements. The STA 6000 includes SaTurnA™ sensor technology for high precision and accuracy. Both models offer a wide range of operating temperatures starting from 15 ºC, suitable for capturing moisture and solvent evaporation. The STA 8000 is optimized for high-temperature applications.

Performance and Productivity
Designed for busy laboratories, the STA analyzers have an easy-to-load vertical sample system with integrated mass flow controllers for accurate environmental control. The STA 6000 can be equipped with an autosampler, and the unique split-carousel design allows for efficient sample preparation and loading.

Applications
The STA instruments are versatile, supporting both thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) or differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). They are suitable for compositional analysis, decomposition temperature measurement, engine oil volatility testing, and more. The STA 8000 is particularly useful for high-temperature applications like fuel cell and ceramics analysis.

Software and Integration
The STA family operates under Pyris® software, which offers stable gas flow rates and supports methods requiring gas switching. The software also includes features for fast purge-out and oxidizing furnace cleaning. For pharmaceutical applications, a 21 CFR 11 option is available. The software facilitates continuous operation with a Play List feature for sample management.

Advanced Analytical Techniques
PerkinElmer offers integration with other analytical techniques such as infrared (IR) and mass spectrometry (MS) for enhanced data interpretation. The STA-MS and STA-IR systems provide sensitive analysis for detecting residual solvents and impurities, while the STA-IR GC/MS system further enhances detection capabilities.

Support and Service
PerkinElmer provides extensive global support with over 2000 service engineers in more than 150 countries. Their services cover maintenance, validation, qualification, and training, ensuring reliable instrument performance.

Conclusion
With over 50 years of experience in thermal analysis, PerkinElmer offers reliable and well-engineered STA solutions tailored to meet diverse laboratory needs.

PerkinElmer has the system to give you the complete picture, whatever your application. Ceramic materials Porcelain clay is used to make a wide range of commercial products, from household sinks to fine ceramic art. Besides water, clay is composed of natural components including kaolin, feldspar and silica, plus low percentage additives. The final ratio of these components results in a range of processing characteristics and material appearance factors. To get the final product required, mixtures can be quantified by combining weight loss data and heat flow. STA 8000 can quantify the moisture...
