The Anton Paar Autosorb 6100 is a high-vacuum physisorption analyzer used to characterize the specific surface area, pore volume, and pore-size distribution of solid and porous materials.
Our laboratory performs nitrogen (N₂) adsorption measurements at 77 K for routine characterization of a wide range of materials, including metal oxides, catalysts, ceramics, carbon materials, polymers, zeolites, and other porous solids. The instrument measures nitrogen adsorption by introducing controlled doses of N₂ into the sample cell and determining the amount adsorbed at different pressures. The resulting adsorption data are used to calculate surface area and pore characteristics.
Available analyses include:
1. BET specific surface area 2. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms 3. Total pore volume 4. BJH pore-size distribution 5. DFT-based pore-size distribution 6. Micropore and mesopore characterization
Sample Capacity:
Up to 2 samples can be analyzed simultaneously. The system includes 6 degassing ports with 2 heating mantles. Although up to 6 samples can be accommodated for degassing, one sample per heating mantle is generally recommended for safe and effective degassing.
