This fully automatic system is suitable for water sorption profiling of material samples including pharmaceuticals, foods, detergents, building materials, fibres, wood, and other substances
CI Electronics has introduced the latest version of its Cisorp water sorption analyser.
It is designed for the study of the physical and chemical properties of solid or liquid samples.
It can provide information on material changes that occur as a result of water sorption as well as information on surface porosity and other characteristics.
This fully automatic system is suitable for water sorption profiling of material samples including pharmaceuticals, foods, detergents, building materials, fibres, wood as well as many other man-made or natural materials. Applications can range from research and development work through to use within production and quality control departments.
The key feature of the Cisorp is that it incorporates two high-accuracy, ultra sensitive microbalance heads which CI says offer versatility in performance not achievable with many alternative makes of analyser.
The simultaneous study of two separate samples can be undertaken or, alternatively, larger samples can be investigated by suspending a single sample across both balances. The combined capacity of the heads is 10g and the resolution is 0.1 microgram.
User defined test sequences can be run unsupervised for hours or days and viewed in real-time to provide instantaneous current analysis of a sample.
Both thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of the performance of materials can be provided.
Cisorp is particularly suited to giving rapid control of relative humidity and temperature during kinetic analysis.
