Thermogravimetric analyzer

The Q500 is the world’s #1 selling, research-grade thermogravimetric analyzer. Its field-proven performance arises from a responsive low-mass furnace, ultra-sensitive thermobalance, and efficient horizontal purge gas system (with mass flow control). Its convenience, expandability and powerful, results-oriented software make the Q500 ideal for the multi-user laboratory where a wide variety of TGA applications are conducted, and where future expansion of analytical work is anticipated.


Surface Characterization Analyzer

Micromeritics 3Flex Surface Characterization Analyzer is a fully automated, three-station instrument capable of high-performance physisorption (mesopore and micropore) and chemisorption analyses with superior accuracy, resolution, and data reduction. Each analysis station is upgradeable from mesopore to micropore with the option of designating one station for chemisorption analyses. All analysis stations can be configured for krypton analysis of low surface area materials. Vapor sorption capability is standard. A single 3Flex with its minimal footprint and three configurable analysis stations eliminates costly investment in multiple instruments and additional bench space. The 3Flex is ideally suited for the characterization of MOFs, zeolites, activated carbons, adsorbents, and a wide variety of porous and non-porous materials.



Mass Spectrometer

Mass detector is known as the most efficient detector for qualitative analysis. However, at the same time, it has poor qualitative capacity. Because it only analyzes a small amount of gas, it is difficult to obtain the good quantitative result. By selecting the most appropriate materials and component layout. BEL has successfully produced "BELMass" with a high quantitative capacity. Even ammonia gas can be analyzed easily by using the heat hose and dry diaphragm pump.


BELSORP-HP | High pressure Gas Analyzer

The importance of high pressure adsorption measurement is growing in various industries, hydrogen or methane storage, pressure swing adsorption (PSA), CO2 absorption into hypolymer etc. But the instruments for measuring high pressure gas sorption are large-size, expensive and hard to use.
