IGAsorp Series

Dynamic Vapor Sorption Analyzers

Fully automated compact benchtop DVS analyzers for fast & accurate sorption measurements.

The IGAsorp Select-XT is a fully automated water sorption analyzer designed for measurements at conditions other DVS systems cannot achieve.
Overview

The IGAsorp series delivers high-performance dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) analysis in a compact, fully automated benchtop format.

Using the dynamic flow technique for both water and organic vapors, IGAsorp systems measure vapor uptake and kinetics under precisely defined environmental conditions – delivering reliable, reproducible data across a wide range of materials.

Built on decades of Hiden Isochema’s expertise in gravimetric sorption, every IGAsorp combines best-in-class hardware and software functionality to deliver results you can trust. With a range of different models and a comprehensive suite of upgrade options, the IGAsorp series scales effortlessly from routine QC to advanced research applications.

The IGA method

The IGAsorp employs the unique IGA method to determine both sorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherms with exceptional accuracy. By optimizing how equilibrium is detected, the IGA method delivers high quality endpoint determination, consistent results, and shorter measurement durations.

Real-time kinetic analysis is achieved through continuous monitoring of weight-time data. The software models this data and predicts the trend toward equilibrium, which is clearly displayed on-screen. Objective equilibrium criteria are automatically applied to determine the optimal point to proceed – ensuring reliable, repeatable measurements.
