The Matrix 1000 is a next-generation gas sorption analyzer platform engineered for laboratories demanding flexible configuration, high throughput, and precision micropore resolution. Each unit supports up to four independently operated analysis stations, giving users the freedom to design the system around their specific applications.
The system is ideal for research centers, QC labs, and advanced materials teams who require reliable, scalable, and highresolution data for gas adsorption and pore characterization.
Key measurement capabilities include BET, Langmuir, BJH, DFT, HK, SF, MP, DR, T-Plot, isotherms, and heat of adsorption. Surface area can be measured down to 0.05 m2/g (mesopore) and 0.0005 m2/g (micropore), with pore sizes from 0.35 to 500 nm resolved with high precision.

The Matrix 1000 empowers users to:

  • Configure mesopore, micropore, or mixed-mode stations in a single unit
  • Run simultaneous, independent analyses without cross-interference
  • Scale up or specialize based on research demands
  • Customize precision sensor packages to match experimental needs
  • Expand modularly to a total of up to 3 connected units (12 stations) for maximum throughput and flexibility

Surface area can be measured down to 0.05 m2/g (mesopore) and 0.0005 m2/g (micropore), with repeatability ≤1.0% RSD. Pore sizes from 0.35 to 500 nm are resolved with repeatability as fine as 0.02 nm (high-res micropore).

Multi-Station Architecture
Run up to four fully independent analysis stations per unit—each with dedicated dosing, pressure control, and data acquisition. Scale up to 12 stations by connecting three Matrix 1000 units. Ideal for high-throughput labs and multi-user environments.

Micropore & Mesopore Flexibility
Configure any combination of micropore or mesopore analysis stations based on your application needs. High-resolution pressure sensors—down to 0.1 Torr—enable accurate characterization of ultrafine pores, while broader pressure ranges allow robust mesopore and macropore analysis.

Smart Safety & Status System
The Matrix 1000 is built for safe, intuitive operation. Each work unit includes multicolor LED indicators for quick visualization of instrument status:

  • White – Standby
  • Orange – Heating
  • Green – Test in Progress
  • Red – Alarm Condition

 

Real-time monitoring of pressure and temperature ensures that any anomaly automatically triggers an alarm, switches the unit to red warning status, and halts the experiment for safety. A retractable front safety shield protects users from cryogenic splashes during operation.

Smart Degassing with Pressure Feedback
The Matrix 1000 system continuously monitors vacuum pressure during degassing and compares it to user-defined stabilization thresholds. This intelligent feedback mechanism automatically detects when activation is complete, improving reproducibility and avoiding over- or undertreatment of samples.

Advanced Gas Dosing
Each analysis station features dedicated dosing and evacuation control for independent test execution. The system supports both pressure-based and volumebased dosing, with user-selectable options for quantitative or constant-pressure dosing. Smart sequencing ensures efficient dosing across multiple stations while avoiding gas cross-talk so that each station can run a different test (i.e. BET, isotherm), but with the same adsorbate.

Integrated Degassing Furnace
Every Matrix 1000 unit includes one built-in, high-temperature degassing furnace with programmable ramp/soak control and realtime pressure feedback—no external systems required. For high-volume workflows, pair with an external Prep Series degasser for bulk pre-treatment, using the built-in unit for final polishing prior to analysis.

Harsh Chemistry Option
Equipped with a passivation coating and seals upgraded to FFKM for aggressive or corrosive chemistries.
