Micromeritics's Tristar II surface area and porosity analyser has been recognised as one of the best new analytical instruments introduced to the China market in 2009.
This recognition came from the 2010 Annual Conference of China Scientific Instruments (ACCSI), hosted by the China Instrument Manufacturers Association, China Instrument Society Analytical Instrument Society, China Association for Instrument Analysis, and Instrument.com.cn.
The Tristar II is a fully automated, three-station surface area and porosity analyser that is said to be capable of increasing the speed and efficiency of quality control analyses while having the accuracy, resolution and data reduction required for most research needs.
The instrument combines versatility in analysis methods, data reduction and reporting to allow the user to optimise analyses to specific applications.
The TriStar II features a dedicated saturation pressure port, allowing the measurement of saturation pressure on a continuous basis.
Three analysis ports operate simultaneously and independently of one another.
In addition, a high-vacuum option allows measurements using krypton gas in the very low surface area range.
ACCSI invited 50 experts nationwide (primarily laboratory managers from universities and national research institutes) to evaluate various kinds of analytical instruments.
After evaluating analysers from many different suppliers, the panel voted the Micromeritics Tristar II as one of the 10 best new instruments of 2009.
