The ASAP 2460 Surface Area and Porosity Analyzer from Micromeritics incorporates an expandable system designed for high sample throughput. The base ASAP 2460 is a two-port master control unit. For more throughput, additional two-port units can be connected to the master unit expanding the system to either a four-port or six-port analyzer.
All analysis ports can be operated independently and concurrently, allowing the user to load and unload samples at any time, regardless of the preparation or analysis stage. Long-duration dewars and isothermal jackets assure a stable thermal profile along the length of both the sample and the saturation pressure (Po) tubes throughout extended analyses.
An analysis of up to 60 hours can be performed without refilling the dewar. This allows unattended analysis of high-resolution.
MicroActive data analysis software also includes a utility that allows overlays of mercury porosimetry pore size distribution with a pore size distribution calculated from gas adsorption isotherms.
