Specific surface area & pore size analyzer for materials
Achieve unparalleled precision in material characterization by measuring specific surface area and pore size distribution with advanced gas adsorption technology, ideal for enhancing the performance of catalysts, batteries, and more.
Analyzes Surface Area and Pore Size
The BELSORP MAX G from Microtrac Retsch GmbH is a compact and economical BET surface area and pore size analyzer, engineered for precise gas adsorption measurement. It employs a volumetric method enhanced by Advanced Free Space Measurement (AFSM™) to deliver high-accuracy isotherms. Ideal for fields like catalysis and battery production, it caters to various applications, from measuring catalytic converters to analyzing fuel cell membranes. The BELSORP MAX G features a range of pressure transducers and supports multiple gases, allowing analyses from ultra-low to atmospheric pressures. It integrates seamlessly into R&D laboratories with its PLC-controlled automation and IoT-enabled process monitoring. The system’s helium-free approach and in-situ sample pretreatment options boost efficiency and minimize analysis times. Available in both Low and Medium Pressure versions, this analyzer offers flexibility and customization to meet diverse research needs.
