- Leverage precise manifold temperature control between 35 °C and 50 °C
- Rely on TruZone active coolant level control for accurate data – even over lengthy analyses
- Achieve superior high vacuum performance (38 % better than previous generation instruments) with precision-machined manifolds and high-quality pneumatic valves

Independent stations ensure you’re absolutely agile
- Analyze up to three different samples with three different analysis gases at three different temperatures simultaneously with independent analysis stations and patented temperature control accessories
- Perform the most challenging physisorption measurements with the 90-hour Dewar
- Maximize your throughput with six integrated degassing stations
- Quickly swap to the 1100 °C furnace for advanced temperature programmed analyses, pulse titrations, or chemisorption isotherms

Intuitive software makes every analysis absolutely accessible
- Enjoy an updated and streamlined Kaomi software, which makes the whole measurement process easier than ever before
- Optimize measurement definition to suit your needs with DoseWizard’s new standard and advanced modes
- Keep downtime to a minimum with PowderProtect, which prevents accidental loss of powder in the instrument

Customization options keep you absolutely adaptable
- With 3 instruments and modular upgrades, the Autosorb adapts to the exact analysis requirements of your porous solids and catalysts
- As your research changes, the instrument’s physisorption and chemisorption features can be field upgraded to fit new materials and applications
- Go beyond standard measurements with enhanced chemical resistance, a built-in vapor source, thermal conductivity detector, or even a fully integrated mass spectrometer

Compliance and quality are absolutely assured
- Comply with 20+ ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards for catalyst characterization and the evaluation of porous solids.
- Get peace of mind with our 3-year warranty so you can avoid unforeseen costs
