Product Overview

The IGA-003 is a gravimetric analyser specifically designed for dynamic multi-component gas sorption analysis. The multiple inlet mass flow controller system allows multi-component experiments in both pressure control and flow control modes. The IGA design integrates precise computer-control and measurement of mass change, pressure and temperature to enable fully automatic and reproducible determination of gas sorption-desorption isotherms and isobars in diverse operating conditions.

A range of sample environment options are available to allow operation at temperatures from -196 to 1000 °C and at pressures ranging from ultra-high vacuum to 20 bar. A close-coupled mass spectrometer option allows the performance of product desorption and standard TG/MS experiments. The IGA-003 has been widely used in catalyst characterisation, as well for the study of gas sorption on carbons, zeolites and polymers.
