Surface area and pore size analyzers:
Nova
- Maximize your budget with this multi-station BET surface area analyzer
- Boost throughput with two analysis, four degassing stations
- Conserve helium using short sample cells and NOVA mode
- Achieve 2 % reproducibility with ≥2 m2 measurement surface area
- Simplify the analysis process with built-in profiles
Nova instruments set a new benchmark in surface area and pore size analysis.
Four degassing stations and up to four analysis stations let you degas samples while analyzing others. Analyze four
5-point BETs in approximately 20 minutes with 2 % reproducibility – those are quick, reliable results. Automated degassing means no operator intervention.
Simple. Precise. Fast. Nova.
Key features

Integrated sample preparation simplifies your process
Eliminate the clutter, cost, and complexity of external degassing devices with four integrated degassing stations and up to four analysis stations in one space-saving design. Prepare a range of samples with vacuum or flow degassing at temperatures up to 425 ºC. Degassing is software programable and linked with an individual sample ID, ensuring full traceability.

Speed up your surface area and pore size analysis with NOVA Mode
Utilize pre-calibrated sample cells – no need to measuring void volumes before every analysis – and accelerate your analysis speeds while maintaining a high level of measurement precision.

TruZone – active coolant level control
With TruZone, create and maintain a small cold zone on the sample cell and maximize the measurement sensitivity of your surface area and pore size analyzer. Increased sensitivity when measuring gas molecules that are adsorbed by the sample results in exceptional measurement performance. Nova instruments deliver better than 2 % reproducibility with as low as 2 m2 total surface area in the sample cell. This best-in-class performance lets you measure materials with specific surface areas as low as 0.01m2/g.

Suite of smart dosing algorithms for effortless method creation
Intelligent dosing algorithms, such as DoseWizard, VectorDose, and Initial Fill, simplify the creation of analysis profiles to accelerate analyses without sacrificing precision. In combination with the 20+ built-in analysis profiles for standardized methods like ASTM, ISO, USP, and DIN, our surface area and pore size analyzer delivers operational simplicity from start to finish.

A surface area and pore size analyzer with smart software
Combine instrument control and data processing with Kaomi for Nova. Set up and perform analyses, and process, report, and store data easily. Control up to four Nova instruments from one PC.

21 CFR Part 11-compliant software
Enhance data integrity for the pharmaceutical industry with Kaomi for Nova 21 CFR Part 11 Software (user management, audit trail, customizable reporting, and electronic signature). Comply with the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 guidelines with our comprehensive pharma qualification and requalification package.
