Surface area and pore analyzers:
Nova

I currently have to manage 2 instruments for one complete analysis process (degassing and analysis). Is there a better way?

All-in-one Nova provides 4 integrated degassing stations and up to 4 analysis stations in 1 space-saving design. 

This integrated design eliminates the clutter, cost, complexity, and additional bench space of external degassing devices.  

I want my sample preparation to be automated.

Nova’s 4 integrated degassing stations are software-controlled. Simply set up a profile consisting of one or more target temperature(s), heating rate(s) and hold time(s).  

Nova will prepare the sample without intervention according to the profile selected. The profile used will also be recorded with the sample – no more timers or notebooks needed.  

My lab processes different types of samples requiring different preparation modes.

Nova’s integrated degassing stations are capable of vacuum and flow preparation at temperatures up to 425 ºC.

Appropriate preparation of many sample types is easily achievable with the fully capable degassing stations.

Currently, our degassing process is manual and requires the details to be kept in a lab notebook. Is there a way to easily document and record this process?

All Nova models provide automatic degassing via a degassing profile that is automatically traced to the sample ID.

Degassing information can be easily retrieved for each sample being analyzed – no more timers or notebooks needed.  

I need to measure according to a published standard quickly and easily.

All Anton Paar Nova instruments come preloaded with 20+ optimized profiles for various standardized methods.

Take the guesswork out of conformance. Preloaded profiles allow minimal setup and training while ensuring adherence to standards.

Our lab processes a lot of samples for surface area and pore analysis. How can we increase our throughput?

Nova brings the power of 4 plus 4: 4 degassing stations and 4 analysis stations offering the highest throughput available in a benchtop instrument.

Easily keep up with your samples, with 4 multi-point BETs analyzed in 20 minutes, and 4 full isotherms for BET and mesopore characteristics within 8 hours.

How do I ensure good measurements when I have low surface-area materials and limited sample quantities available?

Nova’s TruZone active coolant level control maximizes the measurement sensitivity. Active control creates a small cold zone on the sample cell that reduces the amount of unadsorbed gas in the cell. This increases sensitivity when measuring those gas molecules which are adsorbed by the sample.

How can I speed up analyses without sacrificing performance?

Performing measurements in Nova mode speeds up the analysis by utilizing sample cells which are pre-calibrated.  

Reduction of analysis time without degradation of measurement performance. Performing measurements in Nova mode also allows the instrument to operate free from helium.  

I need my measurements to be even faster. Are there more ways to speed up analysis?

The Nova series features intelligent dosing algorithms such as DoseWizard, VectorDose, and Initial fill, all of which are designed to speed up analysis. 

These features further enhance the velocity of the measurement, speeding up the analysis without sacrificing precision.

Environmental variations, such as change of atmospheric pressure or change in LN2 bath temperature, can affect the saturation pressure, causing inaccuracies in data.

Every model of the Nova series comes with an independent p₀ station and transducer.  

The accuracy of every measurement is enhanced, without the need to sacrifice an analysis station.

I want to see my results as they occur, in real-time, at a quick glance.

The 10-inch touchscreen provides users with real-time measurement results and even full isotherms, without the need for a computer.

Visualize the results as they appear, and check the status of the instrument with a quick glance.  

I need to report my results in a specific format to comply to the standardized methods. 

The Nova series comes with 20+ reporting templates – including reports for standardized methods (ASTM, ISO, USP, and DIN) and general property reports for easy data processing.

Easily apply pre-configured templates or create unique templates for automatic reporting of analysis data. 

I want to process my data with different data reduction methods and techniques.

Each Anton Paar Nova instrument brings the most comprehensive data reduction capabilities, including 25+ peer-reviewed DFT kernels, and our proprietary QSDFT kernels, for the most accurate carbon characterization.

The most comprehensive data reduction capabilities enable you to process data using various models. All DFT models are peer-reviewed, ensuring data acceptance.
