Degassers
Consistent and reliable surface area results depend upon proper sample preparation procedures. In terms of B.E.T. analysis, the limiting step in rate of throughput is often sample preparation. The complete degassing of samples can often require several hours, while surface area measurements may require as little as 15 minutes.
Quantachrome manufactures several models of degassers to fulfill your sample preparation needs.
Autosorb Degasser
The gold-standard in vacuum sample preparation for physisorption analyzers; individual temperature control and ramp rates for all six stations, plus optional use of a timer. Built-in cold trap for efficient removal of condensibles at low degassing temperatures and clean vacuum. Turbopump version available for rapid, high-vacuum degassing. Comes complete with heating mantles and vacuum pump. Sample cells not included.
MasterPrep Degasser
Vacuum/Flow preparation unit for Quadrasorb-SI and Autosorb-6B. Individually heated stations with programmable temperature ramp. Individual cooling stations. Connects to PC for easy setup and data logging. Vacuum pump and sample cells not included
FloVac Degasser/Flow Degasser
Recommended for all surface area analyzers. Six sample ports, single temperature zone: ideal for quality control and fixed protocol applications. Choose from flow/vacuum or flow-only models. Vacuum pump and sample cells not included.
Thermoflow Degasser
Flow-through preparation unit for Monosorb surface area analyzer. Each of three stations has independent temperature controls. Comes complete with heating mantles and sample cell assemblies.
