Particle
and Surface Sciences are pleased to announce the release of the new ASAP
Xtended Pressure Sorption Analyzer.
The ASAP 2050 retains many of the design elements of the ASAP
2020 in addition to being able to collect physisorption data in an
elevated-pressure environment.
The ASAP 2050 Xtended Pressure Sorption Analyzer is an easy-to-use
instrument capable of collecting physisorption data in an
elevated-pressure environment. While retaining many design elements of
Micromeritics’ popular ASAP 2020, the ASAP 2050 analysis manifold is
equipped with a pressure transducer capable of operating from vacuum to
10 atmospheres. The instrument is particularly well suited for fuel
cell, hydrogen storage, and pressure swing adsorption research
applications.
Two independent vacuum systems allow simultaneous preparation of two
samples and analysis of another. Sample preparation and analysis can
occur concurrently without interruption and without the risk of
cross-contamination. A chiller Dewar and recirculating bath allow the
ASAP 2050 to be operated indefinitely. The instrument also supports the
use of a standard Dewar with cryogen (typically liquid nitrogen or
argon) that will provide at least 50 hours of unattended analysis
without refilling the Dewar.
Custom
straight-walled, stainless-steel sample tubes are capable of safely
withstanding temperatures and pressures well beyond the system’s
specifications.
The evacuation criteria and temperature profile for each ASAP 2050
sample preparation port can be programmed to incorporate specific vacuum
targets and custom ramp rates with temperature plateaus. The temperature
and rate of temperature change can be set and monitored individually and
controlled from a few degrees above ambient to 450 °C. A programmable
pressure threshold suspends the temperature ramp if the outgassing
pressure exceeds the threshold. Special degas heating mantles can be
used to prepare samples in situ on the analysis port prior to analysis.
In addition to controlling the instrument’s operation, powerful
Windows® software also reduces the raw data collected during the
analysis. An interactive reporting system includes an extremely
versatile graphic user interface for custom presentation of results. The
standard ASAP 2050 system offers a wide variety of reports, including
DFT (Density Functional Theory) and isotherm cycling.
