Micromeritics BET Surface Area and Porosity Analyzer
ASAP 2020 Accelerated Surface Area and Porosimetry System
Summary
The Micromeritics ASAP 2020 is a physisorption analyzer that measures the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, pore size, and pore volume in a non-destructive format.
Rates
We offer surface area, porosity, chemisorption and physisorption isotherm data to materials analysis.

Ion Chromatography
DIONEX ICS-2100 SERIES
Summary
The Dionex ICS-2100 Ion Chromatography System (ICS-2100) performs ion analyses using suppressed or non-suppressed conductivity detection. An ion chromatography system typically consists of a liquid eluent, a high-pressure pump, a sample injector, a guard and separator column, a chemical suppressor, a conductivity cell, and a data collection system.
Rates
We offer cations (Lithium, Sodium, Ammonium, Postassium, Magnesium, Calcium, etc) and anions (Fluoride, Chloride, Nitrite, Sulfate, Bromide, Nitrate, Phosphate,etc) analysis.
