High-throughput surface area and pore size analyzer
The NOVAtouch series are the instruments of choice for hundreds of labs globally. These rapid, high-throughput vacuum volumetric gas sorption analyzers provide quality control and research labs alike with the surface area and pore size analysis capabilities they require – and all this at an affordable price. Either two or four analysis stations with four built-in vacuum or flow degassing stations reduce the overall bench space while maximizing performance. A 21 CFR Part 11 compliant version of the software is available for pharmaceutical customers.
• Perform fully automated multi-point B.E.T. analysis in as little as eight minutes.
• Eliminate the need for helium with patented NO Void Analysis™ (NOVA) technology.
• Analyze up to 2000 data points (1000 adsorption points and 1000 desorption points).
• Prepare four samples by vacuum or flow methods simultaneously with sample analysis.
• Access degasser during analysis to start / stop degassing.
• View data “on the fly” locally on the color touchscreen.
• Eliminate cell calibration with classical helium-void-volume mode.
• Transfer data via Ethernet connection.
• Enhance performance with Windows®-compatible software.
• Verify performance with rapid calibration check.
• Dedicated Po cell and transducer for greater analysis resolution and speed.
• Meets the special needs of busy research laboratories.
