The Gravimetric Sorption Analyzer accurately measures the adsorption and desorption behavior of samples by directly weighing mass changes in real time before and after adsorption, under controlled relative partial pressures. Using a high-precision microbalance, it offers superior accuracy compared to volumetric methods, eliminating common sources of error such as temperature-induced zone distribution and non-ideal gas corrections.This analyzer overcomes the limitations of volumetric methods by enabling real-time, isobaric adsorption rate measurement and providing precise data on adsorption kinetics, which are essential for understanding material behavior.The BSD Vacuum & Dynamic Gravimetric Vapor Sorption Analyzer enhances this functionality with high throughput capabilities, allowing for the simultaneous analysis of up to 8 samples. Its fully automated cyclic testing feature significantly boosts laboratory efficiency, reducing the need for repetitive tasks and freeing researchers to focus on more complex analyses.

The analyzer is designed for high throughput, offering 4 or 8 analysis positions to enable simultaneous analysis of multiple samples. With all analysis positions housed within the same adsorption chamber, the system ensures that each sample is tested under identical environmental conditions, allowing for direct and reliable comparison of sample performance. This configuration maximizes efficiency and provides excellent cost efficiency.
Researchers often perform multiple cycles of adsorption and desorption tests to assess material durability and predict service life. However, this process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring repeated manual testing. To address this challenge, our R&D team has developed an innovative solution that enables rapid switching between activation and testing phases, while also automating the multiple cycles of repeated adsorption and desorption. This system eliminates the need for manual intervention, streamlining the testing process and providing valuable, long-term data on material durability and performance.
The BSD Gravimetric Sorption Analyzer offers two advanced modes for buoyancy subtraction, enhancing accuracy and precision in measurements. In addition to theoretical calculations, the system supports direct background buoyancy measurement at a blank position. This allows for real-time correction of the calculation using either the blank position data or curve subtraction. The direct background measurement at the blank position provides higher precision compared to theoretical estimates, making this an innovative and unique feature of the BSD design.
