Crucible Selection for Thermal Analysis
A Guide to Choosing the Optimal Crucible for Your Experiment
Program
- Introduction to thermal analysis crucibles
- DSC crucibles and application examples
- TGA crucibles and application examples
- Tips and hints for selecting the right crucible
- Interactive Q&A session
Selecting the right crucible for your application can be a complex process, given the wide range of products available. Making the right choice, however, is essential for obtaining accurate results and protecting your thermal analysis module.
Using several practical examples for differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), this webinar helps you navigate through the many different choices, giving you confidence in your results.
After the presentation, you will have the opportunity to join the live Q&A session with our experienced METTLER TOLEDO application specialists.

Why Using the Right Crucible Is Essential
Often, the difference between an accurate and a flawed result has nothing to do with the measuring device, but rather the type of crucible used. For example:
- Crucible material, size, quality, and lids must be carefully selected, according to the application.
- A smooth, flat base is critical to ensure perfect contact with the sample and optimal heat transfer.
