Micromeritics Smart VacPrep gas adsorption sample preparation device

The Micromeritics Smart VacPrep is a six-port system that utilises vacuum to prepare samples by heating and evacuation. Each of the ports may be operated independently. Samples may be added or removed from degas ports without disturbing the treatment of other samples undergoing preparation. Degassing automatically terminates when the samples have completed all programmed steps.

The software includes a set of default ramp and temperature parameters. Users also have the option of programming each port with a different set of parameters. A record of the sample preparation time and temperature can be recorded as part of the sample data file.

The de-gas program may be started or terminated by using software installed on the computer attached to the analysis instrument or with push-buttons on the front panel of the product. The time-saving ‘Rapid-Start’ mode on each port gives the user the ability to walk up to the instrument, attach the sample tube with heating mantle and immediately start degassing a sample.
