   • 1975, W. Flaig, H. Beutelspacher, E. Rietz, Soil Components: Volume 1: Organic Components, Springer-Verlag, Chapter 1, "Chemical Composition and Physical Properties of Humic Substances":

     That was because until recent years there was only a small amount of information about the reaction kinetics and mechanism of thermochemical processes, and on the other hand, suitable supplementing methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry for comparative investigation, were still being developed for application to thermoanalytic methods.

   • 1995, Heinz Kopsch, Thermal Methods in Petroleum Analysis, VCH, page 3:

     However, the application of thermoanalytic methods is limited to substances having a start temperature of evaporation at atmospheric pressure not far below 200 °C. Otherwise there is the risk that evaporation in the gas flow will begin at room temperature and thus the correct start temperature of evaporation (zero point of the TGA curve) cannot be ascertained.

   • 2004, György Bárdossy, János Fodor, Evaluation of Uncertainties and Risks in Geology: New Mathematical Approaches for their Handling, Springer, page 141:

     The instrument measures simultaneously the temperature of heating, the thermogravimetric (TG), the differential thermogravimetric (DTG) and the thermoanalytic (DTA) curves of the same sample.
