Apparatus for sorption measurements NOVA 800 Anton Paar
NOVA 800 Anton Paar is an analyzer for measuring gas sorption and determining BET surface area, size, volume, and pore distribution in powders and porous materials.
Apparatus characteristics:
- apparatus compatible with N2, He and CO2 gases
- four independent degassing stations
- four analytical stations
- determination of size, volume, and surface area (2 - 50 nm), micropores (0.35 - 1.1 nm)
- working pressure range of the apparatus 1.5 x 10-7 to 1.0 P/P0
- temperature range of sample degassing: 20-425 ºC
- analysis of powder and solid samples of dimensions not larger than 7 x 7 x 10mm
The apparatus is part of the “Integrated platform for the study of the chemistry and microtexture of porous materials and the reactivity of their surfaces.”
