These instruments are used to evaluate the specific surface area and pore size distribution of various solid materials such as powders, fibers, membranes, substrates and molds by gas adsorption and mercury intrusion.
Models are available for measuring pore size distribution ranging from nanometers to several hundred micrometers.
The BELSORP MAX X is a high-end gas / vapor adsorption analyzer, featuring a more compact design and lower weight. It can measure up to four samples over a wide range of pressures and temperatures.
- Analyzes fluctuations in scattered laser light from particles in suspension
- Measures hydrodynamic diameter, ideal for nanoparticles
- For colloids, pharmaceuticals, and nanomaterials
- Measures gas or vapor uptake on solid surfaces
- Determines surface area, porosity, and pore size distribution
- For catalysts, adsorbents, and porous materials
- Uses angular patterns of scattered laser light to determine particle size
- Covers a wide particle size range
- Fast, repeatable, and suitable for wet or dry samples
- Applies pressure to force mercury into pores of a sample
- Calculates pore size distribution, total pore volume, and surface area
- Useful for characterizing porous materials and filters
- Measures spatial distribution of scattered light in liquid samples
- Assesses formulations’ physical stability
- Ideal for concentrated dispersions, emulsions, and suspensions
