Project

Thermogravimetric analysis coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (TGA-GC-MS) (R-10093)

The analysis of complex chemical mixtures in challenging matrices is of an ever-increasing interest in materials research, food science, environmental analysis, biomedical studies, … In this regard, investments in the appropriate infrastructure are key. Comprehensive GCxGC-MS will allow Hasselt university to reach the next level regarding specific target analysis and screening of convoluted samples. In addition, advanced thermal sample pre-treatment and online analysis will open up new opportunities to study the outgassing in specific degradation steps, pyrolysis processes and will enable us to reconstruct heat-initiated reaction mechanisms. The new infrastructure will be made available both for research projects as innovation-supporting scientific services for companies.
