Acquisition of Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer and Differential Scanning Calorimeter for Enhancing Science and Engineering Education and DOD-relevant research at Miami University

Abstract

Miami University acquired a Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA500), a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC2000), and a refrigeration unit for cooling the DSC sample to -90 deg C, all from TA Instruments, Inc. for a sum of $81,136. In addition, Miami purchased supplies and consumables to maintain and support this new equipment for a total of $3078.93. Our total expenditures for the TGA and DSC at Miami were $84,214.93. This newly purchased equipment has supported multiple faculty in the Chemical, Paper, and Biomedical Engineering Department and in the Geology Department.
