About

Aston University awarded a contract to Surface Measurement Systems for the supply of a closed loop sorption gravimetric analyser, specifically a Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) Analyser, for the College of Engineering & Physical Sciences, including the Aston Institute of Urban Technologies and Aston Institute of Material Research.

The equipment will enable real-time measurement of sorption and thermochemical characteristics of powders and solids at gram and milligram levels, supporting analyses such as adsorption of gases, water vapour and organic solvent vapours, surface area determination (BET), surface energy, isoactivity, amorphous content, diffusion, heat of sorption, activation energy, and permeability.

The contract value is AUD 56,300.
