Quantachrome Instruments introduces the newest evolution of its four station gas sorption analyzer, the Quadrasorb evo™. Quatachrome’s Quadrasorb evo™ Surface Area and Pore Size Analyzer is designed to satisfy busy laboratory needs for high analytical throughput, without sacrificing precision, flexibility or cost-effectivness. Up to four simultaneous and independent analysis ports remove the limitations of single dewar systems allowing samples to be started as soon as previous measurements are completed.

A dedicated transducer has been provided for measurement of Po (adsorbate saturated vapor pressure), so that continually measuring Po does not slow down analysis capabilities. The new B.E.T. “QuickMode™” provides high throughput industrial materials characterization labs the ability to process samples at dramatically improved speeds.

The Quadrasorb evo™ uniquely combines high throughput, and analysis speed with unmatched flexibility. Dramatically improved analysis times have been accomplished through new proprietary features such as QuickMode™ , and Dose Wizard™. QuickMode™ allows the analysis of B.E.T. surface area measurements as much as 50% faster. The Dose Wizard™ allows the use of a previously measured sample as a template, also significantly reducing analysis times.

Quadrasorb evo™ is available with either 2, 3, or 4 analysis ports. Once purchased, a customer can seamlessly add analysis ports, up to the maximum of four, as their lab’s throughput and capacity needs change. In addition the Quadrasorb evo™ is available in either the standard B.E.T. configuration, or in the low pressure micropore configuration. A laboratory can upgrade to the low pressure micropore model if their testing needs should ever change.

Quantachrome Instruments, founded in 1968, is a world leader in the design, manufacture, sales, and service support of analytical instrumentation for characterizing properties of porous materials and powders. Dedicated to providing the highest quality scientific instrumentation and product lifetime support, Quantachrome has more than 50 sales, service, and distribution offices worldwide.

Gas Generators and AnalyzersGas generators are used for supplying or monitoring a regular flow of a high purity gas such as nitrogen, hydrogen or zero air for applications such as gas chromatography. Gas analyzers can be used in supply chain processes and laboratory experiments with portable analyzers for monitoring CO<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> levels as well as trace gases. Regular flow can be produced with gas control modules and flow meters.

Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
