Micromeritics’ ASAP 2020
Accelerated Surface Area and Porosimetry analyzer uses the gas sorption
technique to generate high-quality data for research and quality control
applications. Available options include the micropore option, the high-vac
option, and the chemisorption option, which uses the static volumetric technique
to determine the percent metal dispersion, active metal surface area, size of
active particles, and surface acidity of catalyst materials. Data obtained by an
ASAP 2020
analyzer are used to achieve efficiency, safety, quality, and profitability in
any modern materials-oriented work, and can be used by scientists with
confidence and assurance.

Uses of the ASAP 2020
The ASAP
2020 is used to characterize the active and support surfaces of catalysts,
to determine the high surface areas of adsorbents, and to determine the
microporosity and hydrogen storage capacity of various nano materials. Materials
with low surface areas such as powdered metals, glass fibers, and natural
organic materials can also be analyzed. The pharmaceutical industry uses the ASAP 2020 to
analyze tableted products, surface area being directly related to dissolution
rate. Micromeritics’ staff of scientists can help you determine how
the ASAP
2020 can be used for your application.
