Overview

The Micromeritics ASAP 2020 Plus is a high-performance adsorption analyzer for measuring surface area, pore size, and pore volume of powders and porous materials. Standard methods or user-customized protocols can be used to characterize adsorbents, catalysts, zeolites, MOFs, APIs, excipients, and a wide variety of porous and non-porous materials. 

The ASAP 2020 Plus is ideally suited for gas adsorption analysis of microporous (0.35 - 2 nm) and mesoporous (2 - 50 nm) materials and delivers superior accuracy, resolution and data reduction. 

A vapor sorption option can be added to the ASAP 2020 Plus to extend the analysis range of the ASAP 2020 Plus physisorption.

A chemisorption option extends the application range of the ASAP 2020 Plus to both physical and chemical adsorption for characterizing the texture and active surface of catalysts, catalyst supports, sensors, and a variety of other materials.

Applications

Knowledge of surface area, total pore volume, and pore size distribution is important for quality control of industrial adsorbents and in the development of separation processes. Surface area and porosity characteristics affect the selectivity of an adsorbent.

Surface area and porosity must be optimized within narrow ranges to accomplish gasoline vapor recovery in automobiles, solvent recovery in painting operations, or pollution controls in wastewater management.

The wear lifetime, traction, and performance of tires are related to the surface area of carbon blacks used in their production.

Fuel cell electrodes require high surface area with controlled porosity to produce optimum power density.

The active surface area and pore structure of catalysts influence production rates. Limiting the pore size allows only molecules of desired sizes to enter and exit, creating a selective catalyst that will produce primarily the desired product.

The surface area of a pigment or filler influences the gloss, texture, color, color saturation, brightness, solids content, and film adhesion properties. The porosity of a print media coating is important in offset printing where it affects blistering, ink receptivity, and ink holdout.

The burn rate of propellants is a function of surface area too high a rate can be dangerous; too low a rate can cause malfunction and inaccuracy.

Controlling the porosity of artificial bone allows it to imitate real bone that the body will accept and allow tissue to be grown around it.

By selecting high surface area material with carefully designed pore networks, manufacturers of super-capacitors can minimize the use of costly raw materials while providing more exposed surface area for storage of charge.

Surface area is often used by cosmetic manufacturers as a predictor of particle size when agglomeration tendencies of the fine powders make analysis with a particle-sizing instrument difficult.

Surface area and porosity of heat shields and insulating materials affect weight and function.

Porosity is important in groundwater hydrology and petroleum exploration because it relates to the quantity of fluid that a structure can contain as well as how much effort will be required to extract it.

Nanotube surface area and microporosity are used to predict the capacity of a material to store hydrogen.

Surface area and porosity play major roles in the purification, processing, blending, tableting, and packaging of pharmaceutical products as well as their useful shelf life, dissolution rate, and bioavailability.

Surface area and porosity affect the curing and bonding of greenware and influence strength, texture, appearance, and density of finished goods. The surface area of glazes and glass frits affects shrinkage, crazing, and crawling.

Choose to go from low surface area to heated vapor, to micropore capability. Add a cryostat, an external detector, or configure the unit for enhanced chemical resistance when working with aggressive vapors. The ASAP 2020 Plus permits one instrument to accommodate almost any surface characterization need in your lab.

A chemisorption option extends the application range of the ASAP 2020 plus to both physical and chemical adsorption for characterizing the texture and active surface of catalysts, catalyst supports, sensors and a variety of other materials.

Isothermal jackets

The unique and innovative isothermal jacket cold zone control comes as standard on the ASAP 2020 Plus. 

Isothermal jackets are guaranteed for the life of the instrument and ensure a constant thermal profile along the full length of both the sample and saturation pressure (Po) tubes.

Software and reporting versatility

ASAP 2020 software features: the easy-to-use ASAP 2020 software utilizes a Windows® interface that includes Wizards and applications to help plan, launch, and control the analysis. You can collect, organize, archive, and reduce raw data, and store standardized sample information and analysis conditions for easy access during later applications.

Finished reports may be generated to screen, paper, or data transfer channels. Features include cut-and-paste graphics, scalable and editable graphs, and customizable reports.

  • Degas temperature profiles and treatment time data are integrated with the sample file for future reference and verification of SOP compliance.
  • The Instrument Schematic screen displays the instrument’s current operating status, including the real-time isotherm, and allows the operator to assume manual control of the instrument if desired.
  • Overlays can be used to compare.
  • Exportable data tables provide for merging and comparing data from other sources in a unified single spreadsheet file.
  • Three modes of gas dosing routines provide effective choices to ensure maximum speed with full accuracy for samples with widely differing isotherm shapes.
  • The patented Smart Dosing™ routine actually learns about the sample’s potential to adsorb gas and adjusts the adsorptive doses accordingly to help prevent over-dosing the sample and obscuring porosity information.
  • The user can enter any reference isotherm into the system using a data file or table. This isotherm can be used in place of pre-programmed thickness curves when calculating thickness for t-Plots, s (Alpha-S) plots, and BJH pore size distribution. The reference isotherm can also be overlaid with other plotted data for comparisons.

The ASAP 2020 includes powerful data reduction software to provide a variety of easy-to-interpret report options. This allows tremendous flexibility in the selection of analysis constants to best fit your specific application. All ASAP models have the capability to collect data over a prescribed segment of the pressure range, or to perform adsorption and desorption analyses over the entire pressure range, providing extensive surface area and porosity information.

The ASAP 2020 is a versatile adsorption instrument. In addition to collecting adsorption isotherms up to 150 pisa, traditional isotherms may be collected with nitrogen; BET surface area and BJH pore size distributions are easily determined.

The ASAP 2020 model includes:

  • Repetitive Isotherm Cycling
  • DFT (Density Functional Theory)
  • Single- and Multipoint BET (Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller) surface area
  • Langmuir surface area
  • Temkin and Freundlich isotherm analyses
  • Pore volume and pore area distributions in the mesopore and macropore ranges by the BJH (Barrett, Joyner, and Halenda) method using a variety of thickness equations, including user-defined, standard isotherm
  • Pore volume and total pore volume in a user-defined pore size range
  • F-Ratio plots that illustrate the difference between theoretical and experimental isotherm data
  • Heat of Adsorption
