Alumina Corundum Crucibles TGA DSC DTA Thermal Analysis Compatible with NETZSCH TA Instruments for European Labs
2026/06/21
Precision Thermal Analysis Crucibles for Europe's Research and Quality Control Laboratories
XQCERA presents its comprehensive range of Alumina / Corundum Crucibles for Thermal Analysis - including TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), and DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis) applications. Fully compatible with leading European instrument brands including NETZSCH and TA Instruments, these high-purity crucibles ensure accurate, reproducible thermal measurements across academic research and industrial quality control laboratories.
Why Crucible Quality Matters in Thermal Analysis
In thermal analysis, the crucible is not just a sample container - it is an integral part of the measurement system. Crucible material, purity, mass, and surface condition directly influence baseline stability, sensitivity, and result reproducibility. XQCERA's alumina crucibles are manufactured to the tightest specifications to ensure reliable data:
- 99% Al2O3 High Purity: Non-reactive surface eliminates sample-crucible interactions that could distort thermal events
- Consistent Mass: Tight weight tolerance ensures reproducible baselines and eliminates the need for crucible mass correction between runs
- Temperature Resistance up to 1700C: Suitable for high-temperature TGA/DSC applications including ceramic sintering studies and metal melting analysis
- Excellent Thermal Conductivity: 25-35 W/mK ensures rapid thermal equilibration and accurate temperature measurement
- Full Size Range: Standard and custom sizes available for all common thermal analysis instruments
