Scientific Solutions, in collaboration with Quantachrome Instruments now delivers Autosorb-6B, a high performance six-sample Surface Area and Pore Size Analyser.
For those people needing high throughput of samples, even if needing the high vacuum required for Micropore analysis, the Autosorb 6 is an ideal solution.
Initialisation of the instrument is accelerated, saving up to 45 minutes in evacuation, leak testing, transducer linearisation and Po determinations. These functions are performed on all 6 measurement stations simultaneously and automatically.
With the optional low pressure transducer and a high performance turbo-molecular pump, the requirements are meant to provide the capability for using krypton gas as an adsorbate when there is a need for characterising low surface areas.
Using an enhanced software technique called "MaxiDose", run time can be reduced by 30% to 40%. You set guidelines about number of points and precision required.
The program then introduces varying quantities of sorbate (dose) in accordance with the demands of the sample.
It will not be useful to run Micropore Analyses at high vacuum without a complementary degasser. So, Quantachrome is able to provide standard and turbo-molecular pump degassers to use in degassing of samples in preparation for analysis, be it standard low vacuum analyses or high vacuum Micropore analysis.
