Micromeritics’ ASAP 2020 HD Accelerated Surface Area and Porosity Analyzer was recognized as one of the best new products introduced to the China marketplace in 2011, at a recent Particle Measurement Committee meeting of the China Particuology Society in Chengdu, China.

After considering applications from numerous manufacturers, China Powder and the Beijing Powder Technology Association presented their first annual Excellent Product Award to Micromeritics Instrument (Shanghai) Ltd.

Micromeritics ASAP 2020 HD includes many features that offer improved isotherm resolution and accuracy. Wider pressure measurement capabilities provide more resolution and new options for materials with micropores like metal organic frameworks, activated carbons, and zeolites. New low pressure desorption capabilities are beneficial to material scientists who synthesize materials that exhibit adsorbed phase changes during desorption.

Hi-AC (Higher resolution Adsorbed phase Calculations) technology features the precision fluid properties developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology combined with rigorous free-space control, the real gas equation of state, and compensation for the dynamic void space. Proprietary temperature control for the chemisorption option provides benefits across the entire temperature range on the ASAP 2020 HD, including improved precision near ambient temperature where it is often the most difficult to control temperature.
A large ASAP 2020 HD adsorptive properties library allows users to conveniently select new probe molecules without the worries or difficulties of finding fluid property data.

This library provides the Hi-AC method all fundamental fluid properties in high resolution. The user also has the convenience of high resolution with the click of a button. With the most comprehensive selection of DFT/NLDFT models for textural analysis, the current Micromeritics collection includes more than 20 models that cover a range of materials, geometries, and adsorptives. Micromeritics instrument users can select a model that best describes their material.
ASAP 2020 users can also benefit from these new capabilities by upgrading their current instrument to the new HD standard.
