Surface Analysis Facilities

Specific Surface Area and Porosity

Our BET characterization services are designed to quickly and accurately analyze the surface area, pore size and porosity of a sample. Designed for reliable accuracy, our rigorous protocols ensure results to be high quality. Professional BET Surface Area, Pore Size, Porosity Characterization Service are offered using Sorptomatic 1990 version instrument from Thermo Scientific (Carlo Erba).

Measurement of the Effective Surface Acidity/Basicity of Solid Materials

The effective acid or basic properties of material surfaces are quantitatively determined by probe molecule adsorption. The adsorption can proceed in any type of liquid of various characteristics (apolar, polar, aprotic, protic) through dynamic (pulse liquid chromatographic method) or equilibrium (liquid recirculation chromatographic method) methods.

Determination of Point of Zero Charge (PZC)

The method used to measure the PZC in our laboratories is the salt addition or salt titration method.
