The Autosorb 6100 is a high vacuum physisorption analyzer that’s been re-engineered for the most challenging measurements of surface area, pore size, and pore volume. Independent analysis stations, exclusive TruZone active coolant control, and accessible Kaomi for Autosorb software let you meet your current measurement needs, while factory and field upgradeable options let you adapt to future ones. For your most important physisorption measurements, the choice is clear: Absolutely Autosorb.
Key features

A physisorption analyzer that’s absolutely accurate
- Get highly accurate physisorption measurements from relative pressures below 10-7 for nitrogen
- 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 micropore measurements with the physisorption analyzer’s 90-hour Dewar
- Maximize your throughput with six integrated degassing stations
- Degas two sets of samples at different temperatures up to 450 °C

Intuitive software makes physisorption 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
- Select the number of stations (one, two, or three) to match your throughput needs
- Upgrade the number of stations and transducer sets as your needs change
- Control up to three of our patented CryoSync accessories with a CryoSync control option so you can perform three measurements at three different temperatures simultaneously – no need for any external software
- Benefit from a built-in vapor generator and recirculating Dewar now or in the future to enable precise measurements of water and organic vapor sorption

Compliance and quality are absolutely assured
- Comply with 15 ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards for surface area, pore size, and pore volume measurements
- Get peace of mind with our 3-year warranty so you can avoid unforeseen costs
