cost of apparatus for thermogravimetrics analysis TGA

30+ years ago Mr. Hart was in the booth next to mine at a small regional trade show. We hadlots of time to chat while the papers were being presented. Hart Scientific’s TGA sold for $20k back then, if my memory’s correct. Perkin Elmer sold TGA, too.
I haven’t had exposure to TGA since then so I haven’t a clue how the advances in technology have offset inflation.
Why not request a quote from one of the current vendors?

There are a dozen vendors and I would guess that $15-40k would get you one.
Price will depend on a few things, sample size, resolution, max temp, heating and cooling rates, gases and flow controls, and so on.
Some of these are built to use small samples (~100mg) and some will handle 5g samples.
Lots of options.

I have asked to some vendors, the price are about 40k in Italy. It seems to me a very high price. The prices on Alibaba are far lower. Do you think that there are opportunities to find lower prices somehow, maybe at exposition or at conferences?
Hi,
I guess you have been using your favorite search engine like I did :
To me the only way is to compare quotes to support your decision .
Another option is to use the services of a contractor or a lab to perform the analysis.

Hi,
It seems to me that you have little experience about buying equipment .You won't get prices on Internet , you need to write down a specification and let your purchasing team do the work to get quotes.
You are asking about Alibaba , be aware that for Chinese equipment you may have issues about after sale services, spare parts and even manual written in Chinese .
All above is based on 10 years working experience in China.
Good luck
Pierre
