Autosorb-iQ™ Series

Surface Area and Pore Size Analyzers


The Autosorb-iQ Series is a line of high quality, high performance, single or double port surface area and pore size analyzers. Extended micropore range is  possible by virtue of high-vacuum, turbomolecular pump and precision low pressure tranducers. Very low surface area materials accommodated as standard; already krypton-enabled; no upgrade necessary. Leading-edge data analysis software, included as standard, for demanding research application (DFT,GCMC and classical methods). Available as standard (but upgradable) surface area/mesopore size analyzer with non-turbo vacuum system. Additional options are available for specific applications:

  • The Autosorb-iQ Any Gas  for standard applications using a variety of adsorbates with an option of second analysis station.
  • The Autosorb-iQ-MP/Kr for micropore measurement with an option of second micropore capable analysis station.
  • The Autosorb-iQ-C/MP/Kr for total precise, chemisorption/ physisorption measurement with an option of a second standard or micropore analysis station.
  • The Autosorb-iQ-C/MP/Kr/TCD for physisorption and chemisorption by vacuum volumetric and flow (TPR/TPD) methods as well as option of a second analysis station.
  • The Autosorb-iQ-C/MP/Kr/MS for total physisorption, chemisorption and mass spectrometer detection and an option of a second analysis station.
  • The Autosorb-iQ with Vapour Option factory installed full vapour capability
  • The Autosorb-iQ with Calorimeter Interface. Connection to third party calorimeter. Includes special sample cell, tubing connection and cable.
  • The Autosorb-iQ with Cryostat: Allows measurement of physisorption isotherms in the range 78K to 200K using only LN2 as cryogen.
