Name and Model: Autosorb-1C (Quantachrome Instruments)

Contact Person: Heikki Särkkä

Year of Manufacture:

Year of Installation: 2008

General Technical Information: Brunauer−Emmett−Teller analysis, BET surface area and pore size analyzer workstation for porous materials characterization

Desrcription of Use: Method can be used for porosity and surface area measurements for nano particles. Additionally micro, meso and macro pore size distributions and micropore volume and area measurements can be done for nano particles. Analysis can be done for solid samples such as size of the surface areas of pores in adsorptive and catalytic materials.
