Advanced Multi-Component Gas and Vapour Sorption Analyser

在我们的现代世界中，许多类别的重要材料，如药品、食品、聚合物、催化剂和纳米材料，都会吸收空气中的水等分子，也就是所谓的湿度。事实上，这些材料的制造、性能和稳定性往往取决于这种吸附行为。表面测量系统公司率先开发了用于世界各地学术和工业实验室的科学仪器，用于测量基于样品质量变化的材料的吸附行为：所谓的重量吸附方法。该项目将导致开发一种新的重量吸附分析仪，它将首次允许使用气相或汽相分子进行实验，并允许同时分析多种气相物种。与用于测量质量变化的新一代微天平相结合，这些新的吸附分析仪将满足医学和工业研究人员更具挑战性和多样化的需求，并将代表重量材料表征的新黄金标准，肯定会受到世界各地领先实验室研究人员的追捧。使用这些仪器的关键应用将包括开发新的碳捕获材料、从沼气中分离甲烷的材料以及开发新的催化剂和药物。

In our modern world, many classes of important materials such as pharmaceuticals, foods,polymers, catalysts and nanomaterials will absorb molecules such as water in the air,otherwise known as humidity. Indeed the manufacture, performance and stability of thesematerials is often dependent on this sorption behavior. Surface Measurement Systems haspioneered the development of scientific instruments for use in academic and industriallaboratories throughout the world for measuring the sorption behavior of materials based onsample mass changes: the so called gravimetric sorption method.This project will lead to the development of a new class of gravimetric sorption analyserswhich will allow experiments to be performed using either gas or vapour phase molecules forthe first time, as well as allowing for multiple gas phase species to be analysedsimultaneously. Combined with a new generation of microbalances for measuring the masschanges, these new sorption analysers will meet the more challenging and diverse needs ofacademic and industrial researchers, and will represent the new gold standard in gravimetricmaterials characterisation and are certain to be sought by leading researchers in laboratoriesthroughout the world. Key applications for the use of these instruments will include thedevelopment of new materials for carbon capture, materials for separating methane frombiogas as well as the development of the new catalysts and pharmaceuticals.
