Quantachrome Instruments, a
leading manufacturer of materials characterization instruments, will
unveil three new products at the forthcoming Pittcon 2008 Exposition in
New Orleans early March.
A new Cryostat, developed jointly with the renowned cryogenics
experts Oxford Instruments, will be seen publicly for the first
time. This compact and precision cooling device will allow
researchers to easily perform gas sorption studies at any temperature
between 77K and 200K (-320F and -100F) using only liquid nitrogen as
the cryogen.
A new chemisorption analyzer for characterizing catalysts, the
Chembet Pulsar TPR/TPD, takes center stage.The "Pulsar" features full
automation of temperature programmed methods of analysis known as TPR,
TPD and TPO, and of active metal area determination by pulse
titration. Automatic gas switching and active furnace cooling
are standard.
The popular Ultrapycnometer 1000 (automatic gas pycnometer for
the determination of density of solids) gets connected! This
latest generation, the 1000e, features ethernet connectivity, USB ports
and a more powerful onboard microprocessor.
Quantachrome will also be showcasing two new customer support
programs. The "XL Knowledge Transfer Program" celebrates
Quantachrome's 40th Anniversary by offering American industry
customized seminars focussed on porous materials characterization,
using the wealth of scientific knowledge and practical skills available
from its core of senior scientists. And a new suite of
Service and Maintenance plans ("Silver", "Gold" and Platinum") has been
created to offer USA customers timely and cost-effective long-term care
of their Quantachrome instruments.
Quantachrome will be exhibiting on booth 1955 during the
entire Pittcon expo, where qualified staff will be available to answer
questions about both these new and existing products and services.
