AccuPyc® Gas Pycnometer: True Density Determination

The Micromeritics AccuPyc gas pycnometer is globally recognized for delivering the most dependable measurements of true density. It is the preferred choice in laboratories worldwide, surpassing other commercial gas pycnometers. The AccuPyc provides unmatched accuracy and repeatability, all within a user-friendly and efficient system that appeals to operators of any skill level.

Highlights and Features

Gas Pycnometer for True Density of Solids

Not Just Fast, The Fastest

A system with increased stability, faster equilibration, and enhanced gas exchange, resulting in reduced runtime. Achieve full measurements in 20 % to 30 % less time compared to alternative pycnometers.

Not Just Accurate, The Most Accurate

Each aspect of the AccuPyc design contributes to improved accuracy and minimized variability, featuring the most stable temperature control, advanced gas modeling, highly repeatable lid closure, and other enhancements. Achieve superior measurements for reliable and trustworthy results.

Unparalleled Measurement Gas Flexibility

Effortlessly determine solid density with nitrogen, air, argon, and other gases without the need for extra steps, calibrations, or compromises. Leveraging advanced technology validated in Micromeritics' top-tier gas adsorption instruments, you can seamlessly switch gases and conserve helium when testing materials that are non-microporous and non-adsorbing.

Powder Safe Is Worry-Free

Ensure the safety of both your sample and instrument while testing fluffy, lightweight powders with PowderSafe mode. Pressurizing the reference chamber before the sample chamber removes the risk of elutriation during the measurement of fine powders. Simply choose this mode in your saved method and bid farewell to any concerns.

Run, Review, Report–At Users’ Fingertips

The user-friendly Breeze touch interface puts everything you need right at your fingertips. Conduct measurements, review previous results, and send reports for printing or to LIMS with a simple touch. Streamline your laboratory space by removing the need for a PC on the bench.

Act as One With Mic Net

Never worry if the method settings are outdated or try to find a previous result. An instrument-to-instrument network called MIC NET stores and exchanges data between instruments, including forward compatibility with the AccuPyc currently in use in the laboratory.

Measure Right, Without Questions

Light powders, granules, foams, or slurries all require different operating conditions. Establish the right conditions for your procedure and record them in the Method Library. Remember the next time you need it so you always measure the same way—that is, the right way.

Seamless Device Connectivity

Streamline your workflow and minimize transcription errors by directly connecting your laboratory balance to the AccuPyc via a USB connection. Transmit sample mass directly, eliminating a manual step and reducing the risk of user errors.

Additionally, the AccuPyc integrates seamlessly with other laboratory input devices, such as a keyboard or barcode reader, to further streamline user interaction.
