Micromeritics ASAP 2020 Plus for materials analysis

The Micromeritics ASAP 2020 Plus integrates a variety of automated gas sorption techniques into a single, research-grade, tabletop instrument. The system is designed to provide high-quality surface area, porosity and chemisorption data to materials analysis laboratories.

The product is configurable with many optional accessories and features in a platform that can be expanded with additional capability as analytical requirements change. Choose from low surface area, chemisorption, micropore and vapour adsorption options. Add a cryostat or configure the unit for chemical resistivity for aggressive gas use. The device can accommodate almost any surface characterisation need.

Independent dual vacuum systems permit simultaneous preparation of two samples and analysis of another. A two-station, intelligent, user-programmable degassing system provides fully automated degassing profiles with precise control to ensure sample integrity. A transducer system delivers stability, fast response and low hysteresis for accuracy and signal-to-noise improvement. Continuous saturation pressure monitoring and Isothermal Jacket Cold Zone Control provide a stable environment for both saturation pressure and adsorption to ensure results are accurate and reproducible. A long-duration, refillable dewar supplies virtually unlimited time-of-analysis capability.

MicroActive ASAP 2020 Plus software allows for the interactive evaluation of isotherm data. The user can easily include or exclude data, fitting the desired range of experimentally acquired data points using interactive, movable calculation bars. The isotherm can be viewed in real time on either a linear or logarithmic scale, available under each calculation model.
