Micromeritics is offering a stimulus package to US industrial laboratories and academic institutions.
For first-time buyers of Micromeritics's products, the company will offer any of its line of surface area, porosimetry, density, particle size or chemisorption instruments with deferred payments - no payment or interest for 12 months.
As another offering in the stimulus package, Micromeritics has also instituted a gas adsorption, surface area / porosity analyser trade-in programme.
The company will accept existing instruments, regardless of manufacturer, as partial payment (up to 50 per cent of the purchase value) towards any new Micromeritics physisorption product.
As a third option, US academic institutions can now buy a materials characterisation instrument without service worries.
The company is offering a five-year parts and labour-service agreement to universities buying any Micromeritics instrument.
All sales are subject to full US list prices.
No two offers can be used in the same purchase.
These offers will only exist for a limited time.
