Altamira Instruments products

Perform dynamic temperature-programmed catalyst characterization experiments unattended with the latest generation fully automated chemisorption analyzer from Altamira Instruments.  Determine metal dispersion, relative activity, adsorption strength, in one third the time of traditional volumetric methods. Analyze the off gas with the standard TCD or integrate a mass spectrometer or other detectors (FID, GC, FTIR) as options. Let us customize the instrument so you can, for example: (1) also use it as an atmospheric reactor, (2) carry out lengthy pre-treatments in a separate station (3) provide fast-switched feed compositions to mimic lean-rich burn scenarios; (4) provide SSITKA capability, and many more.

Based on our successful AMI-300 instrument, the AMI-300Lite allows for rapid chemisorption studies in a compact, affordable package. The AMI-300Lite was designed specifically for the price-conscious customers with applications that are more routine or less demanding. As always, full automation and powerful data-handling software assure data accuracy and improve laboratory efficiency.

The AMI-surface DX represents a new affordable and fully automated high-throughput BET analyzer. Perform single and multi-point dynamic BET experiments in a fraction of the time of static methods. The AMI-surface DX is ideal for quality control. It can also be used in a wide range of industries from pharmaceuticals to oil and gas. The AMI-surface DX can run four samples and combines the benefits of flow BET with full automation.

Each station in the AMI-micro has an independent dosing manifold with three pressure transducers: 1000, 10, and 1 (or 0.1) mmHg.  Each of the stations also includes an in-situ degassing module to allow for treatment of the sample to 400°C.  This in-situ degassing thus prevents any contamination during possible sample transfer.   In addition, the AMI-micro 100 and AMI-micro 200 are built with two dedicated degassing stations.

The BenchCAT 4000R HP Hybrid is a four station automated reactor system designed to: Conduct temperature-programmed or isothermal experiments with catalysts loaded in a straight tube reactor at ambient or pressure conditions. External analysis will be performed with a mass spectrometer. Perform characterization experiments (TPR, TPO, TPD, Pulse Chemisorption) using catalysts at ambient pressures. Analysis will be made internally, using the TCD, or externally with a mass spectrometer, GC, etc.... The instrument is configured to perform either reaction experiments or characterization experiments on an automated basis. Reaction and characterization will always be performed as separate experiments.

Performs both reaction testing and chemisorption experiments; Multiple workstations (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8  orkstations). Fully automated workstations. Independent experiments on each workstation. Designed for unattended operation.

The μBenchCAT by Altamira Instruments represents a complete, bench-top reactor for catalytic studies. All the components required for either gas-phase or liquid-phase reaction studies are contained in a fully automated compact package. A variety of options makes the μBenchCAT suitable for a wide range of studies.
