AMI Instruments is proud to have exhibited and presented at NATAS 2026 — the Annual Conference of the North American Thermal Analysis Society, held August 3–6, 2026 at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. One of the most important annual gatherings in the thermal analysis community, NATAS brings together scientists, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to share research, connect across disciplines, and explore the latest developments in thermal characterization instrumentation and methodology.
AMI was excited to return to the NATAS Conference to connect with researchers and industry leaders, and to discuss how our thermal analysis, reactor, sorption, and materials characterization solutions can support their work.
NATAS provides an important forum for advancing thermal analysis and materials characterization through scientific exchange, practical applications, and collaboration between academia and industry. For AMI, the conference offered an opportunity to engage directly with researchers and practitioners working at the forefront of thermal characterization and related analytical techniques.
About the Conference

AMI’s Role & Participation
Analytical Solutions Across Thermal Analysis
AMI Instruments participated in NATAS 2026 with a full exhibition booth showcasing instruments across three of our core product families:
- Chemisorption & Reactors: catalyst characterization systems for active metal surface area, dispersion, and in situ reaction studies.
- Thermal & Gravimetric Analysis: DSC, TGA, STA, and TMA instruments for thermal stability, phase transitions, decomposition, and materials characterization across pharmaceutical, polymer, materials, and energy applications.
- X-Ray Diffraction: benchtop and research-grade XRD instruments for crystal structure, phase identification, quantitative phase analysis, and in situ structural characterization.
As a sponsor, AMI Instruments supports cutting-edge research by providing advanced material characterization solutions that empower laboratories, research institutions, and industrial teams to accelerate discovery and innovation. Participants were encouraged to visit the AMI booth to learn how state-of-the-art analytical instruments can enhance experimental workflows, improve data quality, and support scientific excellence across the full range of thermal analysis applications.
AMI Presentation at NATAS 2026
Advanced Thermal Analysis & Materials Characterization
The AMI team delivered a presentation in the General Topics Session on August 6, sharing insights on advanced thermal analysis and materials characterization methodologies with the NATAS community. The presentation highlighted how AMI’s integrated instrument portfolio supports researchers working across the full thermal analysis workflow, from routine QC through complex multi-technique characterization.
With a portfolio spanning physisorption and chemisorption analyzers, reactor systems, X-ray diffraction instruments, thermal and gravimetric analyzers, and true density analyzers, AMI plays a key role in enabling precise materials characterization across thermal analysis, surface science, and structural characterization — the disciplines at the heart of the NATAS community.
