Press Release: Micromeritics Introduces The New ASAP 2020 HD Accelerated Surface Area And Porosimetry System At Pittcon 2011

Pittcon, a premier annual conference devoted to laboratory science and instrumentation, takes place from March 13 through March 18, 2011. Micromeritics, located in Booth 2553, will not only display a variety of its own products, but also material characterization instrumentation represented by its Particulate Systems brand. With the addition of this brand, Micromeritics currently offers one of broadest ranges of particle characterization instruments and services on the market.

Micromeritics introduces the new ASAP® 2020 HD Accelerated Surface Area and Porosimetry System which includes many features that offer improved isotherm resolution and accuracy. The instrument is designed to provide surface area, porosity, and surface activity (chemisorption) information to materials analysis laboratories with ever-expanding needs. Adsorption and desorption analyses using a wide variety of adsorptives are permitted.

The ASAP 2020 HD can also be used to determine the microporosity and evaluate the hydrogen, methane, or CO2 storage capacity of materials. Micropore size and volume can easily be obtained on MOFs, zeolites, activated carbons, and various nanomaterials. The ASAP 2020 HD is also available with an optional upgrade to allow the use of hydrocarbon or water vapors for sorption studies.

Micromeritics and Particulate Systems offer six instruments that each utilize a different method of determining particle size distribution of powdered material, including one for characterizing particle shape. Particle size instruments displayed at Pittcon 2011 include five of the company's six models:

• Saturn DigiSizer® II High-Definition Digital Particle Size Analyzer - measures particle size in a range of 40 nanometers to 2.5 millimeters. It provides an extremely high level of resolution and sensitivity not available in other laser particle sizing systems.
• Elzone® II 5390 Particle Size Analyzer - determines the size, number, concentration, and mass of a wide variety of organic and inorganic materials.
• SediGraph® III 5120 Particle Size Analyzer - measures mass by X-ray absorption and particle size by sedimentation in the range of 300 micrometers to 0.1 micrometer.
• Particle Insight Dynamic Image Analyzer - ideal for applications where the shape, not just the diameter, of raw materials is critical to the performance of the final product. The Particle Insight offers up to 28 different shape parameters analyzed in real-time in either aqueous or organic solvent suspensions.
• Cordouan VASCO DLS Particle Size Analyzers - dynamic light scattering (DLS) nanosizing instruments capable of measuring particle size in a range from 6 micrometers to 1 nanometer. Its optical configuration design provides superior detection efficiency for opaque sample, decreases the instrument sensitivity to ‘multiple scattering artifact', and strongly reduces the laser thermal effect allowing very accurate measurements even in concentrated and dark dispersions.
