ASAP 2020 Plus Automatic Micropore Physisorption Analyzer

High-performance physical sorption analyzer producing research grade analytical measurements for determining specific surface area and pore size distribution from 3.5 to 5000 Angstroms. Features continuous saturation pressure measurement capability. Includes MicroActive interactive data reduction software which provides an improved control interface, real-time performance indicators, and preventive maintenance scheduling information. Oil-free high vacuum system for analysis and separate oil-free high vacuum system for degassing reduce maintenance costs and eliminate any potential of system contamination from oil filled vacuum pumps.

Thermogravimetric analyzer STA 7200 TGA HITACHI

Thermogravimetric analysis or thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) is a method of thermal analysis in which the mass of a sample is measured over time as the temperature changes. STA 7200 TGA HITACHI allows measurements between 20 ° C and 1000 ° C, in an atmosphere of N2, CO2, and air.

DSC131 evo - SETARAM Instrumentation

Differential Scanning Calorimetry, or DSC, is a technique for thermal analysis that evaluates the effect of temperature on the variation of the heat capacity (Cp) of a material. A sample of a known mass is taken and subjected to heat or cold and then analyze the changes that occur in its heat capacity as the heat flow changes. This makes it possible to detect transitions such as melting points, glass transitions, phase changes, and curing. Due to its flexibility, and since most materials present some type of transition, the DSC technique is used in many industries for pharmaceutical, polymeric, food, paper, printing, manufacturing, agriculture, semiconductor and electronics applications. DSC131 evo - SETARAM  allows measurements between 20 ° C and 450 ° C, in an atmosphere of N2, CO2 and air
