Micromeritics ASAP 2020 HD surface area and porosimetry system

The Micromeritics ASAP 2020 HD accelerated surface and porosimetry system includes many features that offer improved isotherm resolution and accuracy. Current ASAP 2020 users can also benefit from these capabilities by upgrading their instrument to the HD standard.

The instrument is designed to provide surface area, porosity and surface activity (chemisorption) information to materials analysis laboratories with ever-expanding needs. Adsorption and desorption analyses using a wide variety of adsorptives are permitted.

The ASAP 2020 HD can also be used to determine the microporosity and evaluate the hydrogen, methane or CO₂ storage capacity of materials. Micropore size and volume can easily be obtained on MOFs, zeolites, activated carbons and various nanomaterials. The ASAP 2020 HD is also available with an optional upgrade to allow the use of hydrocarbon or water vapours for sorption studies.

Surface area and porosity are important physical properties that influence the quality and utility of many materials and products. Micromeritics gas adsorption instruments are suitable for measuring these properties on a wide variety of materials that include high-tech ceramics, catalysts, fuel cells, carbons, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paint and coatings, super-capacitor components, propellants, geological materials, aerospace materials and much more.
