AMETEK Process Instruments has introduced its next-generation quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) moisture analyzer, the 3050-OLV, a modern update to a product with over 25 years of trusted ...

TGA can be used, for example, to characterize complex biofuel mixtures because the various components vaporize at different temperatures. The purity of an organic sample can be tested by the shape ...

(Nanowerk News) A new chemical analysis technique developed by a research group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses the shifting ultrasonic pitch of a small quartz ...
