Valentine’s Day is usually about hearts, flowers, and sweet messages, but this year, we found romance somewhere unexpected: inside a rheometer. With two iconic chocolates as our leading characters, milk chocolate and milk chocolate wrapped in a white crème embrace, we discovered that chocolate has a lot to teach us about love, chemistry, and how relationships behave under heat, pressure, and time.
DetailsIn this TA Tech Tip, the Hi-Res technique for thermogravimetric instruments is described. Experimental parameters and method development are explained for both dynamic ramp and constant reaction rate Hi-Res TGA experiments.
DetailsOverview In this TA Tech Tip, we showcase the Tzero™ powder sample preparation kit and demonstrate how it is used with Tzero aluminum DSC pans. The kit provides greater control during powder loading, helping ensure material is evenly distributed across the pan bottom while preventing powder from contaminating the pan flange or outer walls.
DetailsWelcome to our Basics of Rheology video series, your gateway to understanding how materials deform and flow.
DetailsHeat shrink tubing appears simple at first glance: wrap it around your wires, apply a heat gun, and voila – perfectly insulated wires every time. But these tubes are more complex than they seem.
DetailsWebinar Thermal Characterization of Advanced Materials for Aerospace Brought to you by TA Instruments – Waters Corporation and Aerospace Testing International Enhancing Aerospace Materials Through Thermal Analysis As aerospace materials chemistry and technology continue to advance, precise and insightful materials characterization is critical to meeting the demanding performance requirements of mission-critical components. This need is…
DetailsOverview In this Tech Tip, we discuss the parallel plate geometry on the TA Instruments HRx Rheometer and show you how to set up and run this experiment on a soft solid.

DetailsTennis players of all levels know that the right ball can make or break your game. But how do different balls compare, and how can manufacturers reliably measure these differences?
DetailsWebinar Assessing Production and Stability for Current and Emerging Antibody Drug Conjugate Platforms Summary Clinically approved ADCs, despite high antibody sequence similarity, vary in linkers, payloads, and formulations. In this webinar we explore analytical techniques for ADC characterization—such as Intact Mass Spectrometry (DAR), peptide mapping, infrared spectroscopy, absorbance, DLS, and DSC—to evaluate structure, aggregation, and…
