TA Instruments announces the introduction of the Discovery MS, a new quadrupole mass spectrometer designed specifically for evolved gas analysis.  The Discovery MS complements the recently introduced Discovery TGA, and provides a turnkey system for performing TGA-MS experiments.  Evolved gas analysis involves the qualitative chemical determination of the products of thermal decomposition or gas sorption reaction.  The Discovery MS features a heated capillary transfer line, so that offgas products are efficiently transferred from the TGA furnace directly to the quadrupole detector.  Parts per billion (ppb) sensitivity levels are realized with a dual-detector Faraday cup/SEM system.

The Discovery MS is compatible with all thermogravimetric analyzers in the TA Instruments product line, including the Discovery TGA, Q-series models and TGA-HP high-pressure sorption and gasification systems.
