Surface area and porosity made easier
Micromeritics introduces the TriStar II 3020, a fully automated, three-station surface area and porosity analyser capable of increasing the speed and efficiency of quality control analyses
Pressure sorption analyser has extended range
Retaining many of the design elements of Micromeritics's popular Asap 2020, the Asap 2050 analysis manifold is equipped with a pressure transducer capable of operating from vacuum to ten atmospheres
The TriStar II 3020 surface area and porosity analyser is a fully automated, three-station analyser that can measure surface areas as low as 0.01m2/g using nitrogen and features a new krypton option that can measure surface areas down to 0.001m2/g.
A dedicated Po port is standard, allowing the user to measure the saturation pressure on a continuous basis.
The TriStar II can collect up to 1000 data points.

Automatic pycnometry system is highly adaptable
Micromeritics's new AccuPyc II 1340 gas displacement pycnometry system provides high-speed, high-precision volume measurements and density calculations on a wide variety of materials
Minute details of the isotherm can be observed and recorded providing high resolution and revealing pore structure details.
A 2.75-litre Dewar and extended length sample tubes allow complete adsorption and desorption isotherms to be collected without operator intervention.
Enhanced product support features include: video clips, ethernet communication between the computer and TriStar II, bar code reader capability, built-in electronic test points and diagnostic software, ability to perform remote diagnostics via the internet, and the ability to read and compare historical TriStar and Gemini data to TriStar II data.
The new Asap 2050 Xtended Pressure Sorption analyser is an easy-to-use instrument capable of collecting physisorption data in an elevated-pressure environment.
While retaining design elements of Micromeritics's popular Asap 2020, the Asap 2050 analysis manifold is equipped with a pressure transducer capable of operating from vacuum to 10 atmospheres.
Custom straight-walled, stainless-steel sample tubes are capable of safely withstanding temperatures and pressures well beyond the system's specifications.
Two independent vacuum systems allow simultaneous preparation of two samples and analysis of another.
Sample preparation and analysis can occur concurrently without interruption and without the risk of cross-contamination.
The instrument is particularly well suited for fuel cell, hydrogen storage, and pressure swing adsorption research applications.
The AccuPyc II 1340 1-cm3 gas displacement pycnometer is designed for those who typically analyse a very limited amount of sample.
The AccuPyc features improvements in design that allow the volume of small amounts of sample to be accurately detected and measured with enhanced reliability to within a fraction of a microliter.
A novel manifold design utilises high-reliability, high-precision valves that seal more securely so that small leaks do not contribute to variability of results.
High-compression, minimum-volume seals around the pressure transducer minimize helium storage and leakage.
This shortens the time to complete a run cycle and practically eliminates the development of temperature gradients that would otherwise compromise results.
The AccuPyc II 1340 1-cm3 also features an ultra-low noise transducer amplifier that results in faster equilibration. Request a free brochure from Micromeritics ...
