Specifications

Under Template, select the template you would like to run for your first TGA sample.

Templates are located in My Documents > My QUADERA > QMG220 > Templates.

 A premade template is available for general use: Kevin Unknown

Bargraph Cycle. This template will measure from 0-300 mass units over

a span of 30 seconds (10 ms/amu). If you do not know what will come off

your sample, use this sample.

 If you have run an Unknown Bargraph Cycle or have an idea of the

fragments coming off of your sample, an MID (Multiple Ion Detection)

template can be used. This will measure up to 7 ions over the course of the

TGA run and monitor their intensity differences over time. MID’s can be

edited and saved in the QUADERA software in Window 2. Once in

Window 2, select PrismaPlus and choose Kevin MID. On the bottom,

click on the Edit tab. Only change tha Task Name and Mass columns

then save as a new template.

Type a name for your sample. Make sure both Filament and SEM are checked. Click

Update Task.
