3Flex

The most advanced gas physisorption – surface area, porosity, chemisorption and temperature-programmed methods on a single platform

 

  • Three parallel analysis ports, one with a 0.1 torr transducer for measurements down to ultra-micropores (~0.3 nm)
  • Up to 3 probe gases simultaneously, one on each port, within a single analysis
  • Optional chemisorption (static, dynamic, pulse) with a TCD detector and furnace up to 1100°C
  • MicroActive – the largest available library of NLDFT models for pore size distribution

Details

  • Analysis range: 1.3 × 10⁻⁹ to 1.0 P/P0 (physisorption) · 1 × 10⁻⁶ to 900 torr (chemisorption)
  • Up to 16 gas inlets in the chemisorption configuration; vapor sorption capability included as standard
  • ECR (Enhanced Corrosion Resistance) version for aggressive gases – Hastelloy, perfluoroelastomers, inert-coated steel
  • Sequencing of physisorption, chemisorption and vapor sorption on the same sample without removing it from the instrument
  • Flex (single-port version of the 3Flex) available for laboratories with lower throughput needs
