Material Surface/BET Analyzer

Quantachrome Nova 2000E

QUANTACHROME NOVA 2000E

Sample Requirements

Solid samples (100 mg – 2 g)

Summary of Technique

  • The NOVA e-Series of surface area analyzers offers a full line of rapid, high throughput B.E.T. surface area and pore size analyzers.
  • It uses a nitrogen absorption/desorption process to characterize powders and pellets.
  • Analyzes up to 200 data points (100 adsorption points and 100 desorption points).
  • Two samples are dried and analyzed simultaneously- at different temperatures if required
