Dual vapor generators support flexible multi-vapor studies, while direct organic vapor concentration measurement ensures fully traceable and reliable vapor control. The isothermal chamber provides exceptional temperature stability, while a high-resolution microbalance captures mass changes with outstanding sensitivity.
With automation and streamlined workflows in HIsorp software, IGAsorp Ultra enables rapid setup, consistent performance, and dependable DVS data from the very first measurement.
Benefit of IGAsorp Ultra
- Flexible water and organic vapor sorption in a compact benchtop system
- Next Generation Vapor Sorption Module with dual vapor generators for rapid, efficient solvent changeovers
- Exceptional temperature control and programmability from 5 to 85 °C
Key Features
Dual Vapor Generators
Two independent vapor generators provide flexibility when working with water and organic vapors. While one vapor is in use, you can prime a second for measurements.
Rapid, Efficient Solvent Changeovers
Highly efficient, automatic purging following vapor changes minimizes unwanted carryover between measurements.
Direct Vapor Concentration Measurement
Integrated sensors provide real-time monitoring of relative humidity and organic vapor concentrations. A unique absolute pressure sensor ensures high accuracy for reported partial pressure readings.
Easy-Refill Reservoirs
Each vapor generator is supplied and kept at a constant fill level by an externally mounted 250 mL reservoir. Reservoirs can be refilled during measurements without interrupting the experiment.
Effortless Sample Loading
Sample loading is fast and simple, with clear access, easy single‑finger placement, and an automated shield that protects the chamber and retracts smoothly for trouble‑free loading.
Exceptional Temperature Control and Programmability
IGAsorp Ultra delivers precise, programmable temperature control from 5–85 °C with tightly regulated circulation and multi‑sensor feedback that maintains ± 0.005 °C stability over 24 hours. Alternative thermostat options are available.
High Stability Microbalance
IGAsorp Ultra’s independent balance thermostat ensures long-term baseline stability, enabling confident measurement of sub-microgram sorption events.
