The IGA series provides fully automated and precise measurement of the magnitude and kinetics of gas or vapour interactions with samples at controlled pressure and temperature.

The unique IGA method exploits the relaxation of the sample after pressure or temperature change to simultaneously determine kinetic parameters and equilibrium uptake. IGA systems are recognised instruments of excellence with over 15 years proven performance in many prominent industrial organizations and leading academic research institutes worldwide.
