Analysis System

- With six independently operated analysis ports, a new analysis can begin as soon as another is finished.
This provides an important advantage over many multiport instruments that require all samples to be
prepared or analyzed at the same time. - Long-duration Dewars and Micromeritics Isothermal Jackets1 assure a constant thermal profile along
the length of both the sample and saturation pressure (Po) tubes throughout extended analyses.
The Po value may be entered, or measured either continuously or at selected intervals. - The high-capacity Dewar also allows unattended analysis of high-resolution adsorption/desorption
isotherms that take much longer to complete because the system must equilibrate at each data point. - BET surface area analyses utilizing six parallel runs can be achieved in as little as 1 hour.
- A low surface area option that uses krypton as an adsorptive to measure total surface areas of 0.5 m2 or less is available. This option utilizes five of the six available ports. It also features a turbomolecular drag pump, which provides the high vacuum required for krypton analyses, and a 10 mmHg pressure transducer, which allows accurate, repeatable pressure resolution.
- 直观的Micromeritics MicroActive软件将用户定义的报告与可以交互评估等温线数据的能力相结合。用户选择的数据范围通过图形接口允许直接建模,用于BET,T-Plot,Langmuir,DFT解释和新的高级NLDFT方法。
- Up to five different nonreactive adsorptives, plus an additional gas for free space, can be attached to the analyzer simultaneously.
- 伺服压力控制在分析过程中调节剂量和疏散,以减少分析时间。
Sample Preparation System
- The ASAP 2425 system includes twelve automatically controlled sample preparation ports that operate
independently. Samples may be added or removed from degas ports without disturbing the treatment of
other samples undergoing preparation. - The sample preparation system is fully automated with controlled heating time profiles. Temperature
and ramp rate can be set and monitored individually and controlled from a few degrees above ambient
to 450 °C. The temperature hold period may extend past the point when evacuation is completed. - A programmable pressure threshold can suspend the temperature ramp if the outgassing pressure exceeds the limit specified, preventing destructive steaming or other undesired reactions with residual gasses and vapors.
Low Surface Area Measurement (Krypton) and Micropore Options
In addition to the standard ASAP 2425, low surface area krypton and micropore models are available.
Low surface area (krypton) model includes the addition of a 10 mmHg transducer and permits accurate
measurement of very low surface area materials (< 1 m2/g).
The micropore model includes the addition of a 1 mmHg transducer which extends the low pressure measurement capabilities and allows enhanced performance for characterizing microporous materials. The transducer also increases pressure resolution in the range necessary for micropore analysis.
Application
Pharmaceuticals
Surface area and porosity play major roles in the purification, processing, blending, tableting, and packaging of pharmaceutical products as well as their useful shelf life, dissolution rate, and bioavailability.
Ceramics
Surface area and porosity affect the curing and bonding of greenware and influence strength, texture, appearance, and density of finished goods. The surface area of glazes and glass frits affects shrinkage, crazing, and crawling.
Adsorbents
Knowledge of surface area, total pore volume, and pore size distribution is important for quality control of industrial adsorbents and in the development of separation processes. Surface area and porosity characteristics affect the selectivity of an adsorbent.
Activated Carbons
Surface area and porosity must be optimized within narrow ranges to accomplish gasoline vapor recovery in automobiles, solvent recovery in painting operations, or pollution controls in waste-water management.
Carbon Black
The wear lifetime, traction, and performance of tires are related to the surface area of carbon blacks used in their production.
Catalyst
The active surface area and pore structure of catalysts influence production rates. Limiting the pore size allows only molecules of desired sizes to enter and exit, creating a selective catalyst that will produce primarily the desired product.
Paints and Coatings
颜料或填充剂的表面积会影响光泽,质地,颜色,颜色饱和度,亮度,固体含量和膜粘附特性。印刷媒体涂料的孔隙率对于偏移印刷很重要,在这种打印中会影响起泡,墨水的接受性和墨水保持。
弹性推进剂
The burn rate of propellants is a function of surface area. Too high a rate can be dangerous; too low a rate can cause malfunction and inaccuracy.
Medical Implants
Controlling the porosity of artificial bone allows it to imitate real bone that the body will accept and allow tissue to be grown around it.
Electronics
By selecting high surface area material with carefully designed pore networks, manufacturers of super-capacitors can minimize the use of costly raw materials while providing more exposed surface area for storage of charge.
Cosmetics
Surface area is often used by cosmetic manufacturers as a predictor of particle size when agglomeration tendencies of the fine powders make analysis with a particle-sizing instrument difficult.
Aerospace
Surface area and porosity of heat shields and insulating materials affect weight and function.
Geoscience
孔隙率在地下水水文学和石油勘探中很重要,因为它与结构可以包含的流体量以及提取它需要多少精力有关。
Nanotubes
Nanotube surface area and microporosity are used to predict the capacity of a material to store hydrogen.
Fuel Cells
Fuel cell electrodes require high surface area with controlled porosity to produce optimum power density.
Superior Data Presentation Capability
创新的微型软件
微粒学的创新MicroActive软件ows users to interactively evaluate isotherm data. Users can
轻松地包括or exclude data, fitting the desired range of experimentally acquired data points using interactive,
movable calculation bars. Isotherms can be viewed on either a linear or logarithmic scale.

Data Reduction Benefits
- Interaction with adsorption data is direct. By simply moving the calculation bars, the user is immediately updated with new textual properties.
- Interactive data manipulation minimizes the use of dialog boxes and tunneling of dialogs to specify
calculation parameters. - Ability to overlay files (up to 25) including mercury intrusion data with a file add-and-subtract feature.
- 游览器通过图形的数据范围terface allow direct modeling for BET, t-Plot, Langmuir,
DFT interpretation, and much more. - Report Options editor allows the user to define reports with on-screen previews. Information from each
report can be included in a concise summary, as well as in a tabular and graphical information pane.
