Gas Adsorption at MCL
Gas Adsorption is utilized to measure the surface area and pore size distribution of material
The quantity of gas adsorbed onto the sample surface as a function of pressure is used to determine both surface area and the pore size distribution
MCL has instruments to measure pore size in the mesoporous (2 to 50nm) and microporous (<2nm) range
Micromeritics Tristar II Plus surface area and porosity analyzer
- Simultaneous measurement of up to 3 samples
- Measurement of surface area and pore size distribution for meso scale porosity
- 6 position preparation station
- Software enables the user to interactively calculate surface area and porosity
- User selectable modeling for BET, T-Plot, Langmuir, and DFT interpretation
Micromeritics 3Flex
- The 3Flex extends MCL's capabilities to pore sizes down to <0.2nm and increases measurement flexibility over the Tristar
- Standard methods or user customized protocols can be used to characterize adsorbents, catalysts, zeolites, MOFs, APIs, excipients, and a wide variety of porous and non-porous materials
- The 3Flex is ideally suited for gas or vapor adsorption analysis of microporous (<2nm) and mesoporous (2 to 50nm) material
