Thermal Analysis Laboratory
The Thermal Analysis Laboratory is housed in the Research Center for
Research and technology at Clark Atlanta Universities. The laboratories
capabilities include Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric
Analysis (TGA), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA/DMS) and Thermomechanical
Analysis (TMA). The Thermal Analysis Laboratory functions to provide
Thermal Analysis to the University and Industrial Communities.
