Micromeritics Adds Enhanced Micropore (1-Torr Transducer) Option to its ASAP 2420 Accelerated Surface Area and Porosimetry System - 1/05/2010
Micromeritics ASAP 2420 Accelerated Surface Area and Porosimetry System has been updated to include a new Enhanced Micropore (1-torr transducer) option. The 1-torr transducer extends the low-pressure measurement capabilities and allows enhanced performance for characterizing microporous materials using nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and other fixed gases. The multiport capabilities of the ASAP 2420 provide an ideal platform for research and quality control laboratories requiring high-throughput material characterization including:
BET
surface area, pore volume distributions, pore area distributions, micropore analysis, and NLDFT modeling of adsorption isotherms.
The ASAP 2420 is designed for high-performance/high sample throughput with six independently operated ports for adsorption analysis and a fully automated sample preparation module with twelve independently controlled stations. Samples may be added or removed from degas ports without disturbing the treatment of other samples undergoing preparation or analysis.
All ASAP 2420 systems feature a high-throughput mode to reduce analysis time. When high-resolution measurements or long equilibration times necessitate extended analysis times, the ASAP 2420 is capable of preforming unattended analyses for up to 60 hours without need to refill dewars. If an analysis of greater than 60 hours is required, a unique feature of the ASAP 2420 allows the dewars to be refilled during an analysis without disturbing the collection of isotherm data.
