Surface area and porosity are measured with a Coulter SA3100 Plus and associated software which has the ability to measure both adsorption and desorption isotherms.
Essentially the SA 3100 plus automates the static volumetric method of gas adsorption measurement.
Various different sample tube sizes are available to accept a variety of different sample types in powder or solid form.
Additionally, the lab is equipped with a Coulter SA-PREP six station auto outgasser for the simultaneous preparation of multiple samples.
