Quantachrome Instruments, founded in 1968, is a world leader in the design and manufacture of analytical instrumentation for characterizing properties of porous materials and powders. Dedicated to providing the highest quality scientific instrumentation and support, Quantachrome has more than 50 sales, service and distribution offices worldwide! Quantachrome celebrates its 40th Anniversary in 2008!
B.E.T. (surface area) is named after the three scientists, Stephen Brunauer, Paul Emmett and Edward Teller, who in 1938 published the mathematical model which made surface area measurement by gas adsorption a viable technique, and which continues to be a fundamental part of porous materials characterization to this day. The B.E.T. equation celebrates its 70th Birthday in 2008!
Quantachrome announces that its popular NOVA series of rapid B.E.T surface area and pore size analyzers will be available in 2008 with an enhanced "calibration-free" analysis option.
The NOVA is one of Quantachrome's highly successful gas sorption instruments for characterizing powder and porous materials in terms of surface area and pore size & volume - essential in the pharmaceutical, petrochemical and advanced materials industries, to name but a few.
