Quantachrome Instruments, a manufacturer of materials characterisation instruments, will unveil three new products at the forthcoming Pittcon 2008 Exposition in New Orleans early March
A new Cryostat, developed jointly with the renowned cryogenics experts Oxford Instruments, will be seen publicly for the first time.
This compact and precision cooling device will allow researchers to easily perform gas sorption studies at any temperature between 77K and 200K (-320F and -100F) using only liquid nitrogen as the cryogen.
A new chemisorption analyser for characterising catalysts, the Chembet Pulsar TPR/TPD, takes centre stage.
The Pulsar features full automation of temperature programmed methods of analysis known as TPR, TPD and TPO, and of active metal area determination by pulse titration.
Automatic gas switching and active furnace cooling are standard.
The popular Ultrapycnometer 1000 (automatic gas pycnometer for the determination of density of solids) gets connected.
This latest generation, the 1000e, features ethernet connectivity, USB ports and a more powerful onboard microprocessor.
Quantachrome will also be showcasing two new customer support programmes.
The XL Knowledge Transfer Programme celebrates Quantachrome's 40th anniversary by offering American industry customised seminars focussed on porous materials characterisation, using the wealth of scientific knowledge and practical skills available from its core of senior scientists.
And a new suite of service and maintenance plans (silver, gold, and platinum) has been created to offer US customers timely and cost-effective long-term care of their Quantachrome instruments.
