Thermogravimetric Determination of Moisture and Ash in Soils and Plant Tissue Materials

Join us for an in-depth technical webinar exploring the latest advancements in thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for determining moisture and ash content in soils and plant tissue materials. Led by Jeffery Gast, a seasoned analytical chemist and ASTM committee member, this session will showcase the capabilities of LECO’s TGA801 and TGM800 instruments—designed to streamline and enhance traditional gravimetric methods.

We’ll explore the validated methods for moisture and ash determination in plant tissues and soils, including temperature optimization, sample mass considerations, and method comparisons. We’ll also discuss how thermogravimetric analysis can reduce labor, improve accuracy, and enhance throughput in your lab—all while maintaining compliance with recognized standards.
