Hiden Isochema has launched an all new ABR (Automated Breakthrough Analyser) that complements the existing larger scale breakthrough reactors. The ABR is designed to meet the requirements of researchers wish to characterise the gas separation performance of novel materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) without the time or expense of synthesising larger quantities of material.
ABR is a dedicated breakthrough analyser, fully automated and supplied with an integrated close-coupled mass spectrometer. The ABR is available on a range of configurations to suit research-scale samples, with bed volumes from 2cc to 20cc. Flow rates are selected to suit the specific applications, and it includes an ultra-low dead volume switching valve. Options include an upgrade for operation at pressures to 50 bar, and an integrated vapour generator module for gas-vapour operation. The key features of ABR include, it is a fully automated breakthrough analyzer, Optimized for research-scale sample sizes (bed sizes from 2cc), Ultralow dead volume automated switching (purge gas / process mixture), Options for gas-gas, gas-vapor, vapor-vapor configurations, Optional high pressure (50 bar) configuration and fully integrated close-coupled mass spectrometer.
