Multiport Surface Characterization Analyzer

Binghamton University intends to procure a fully automated gas sorption analyzer designed for high-resolution characterization of specific surface area and pore size distributions. The system must meet or exceed the following minimum specifications:   Instrument Configuration The analyzer must support multiport operation, including: o             One port configured for micropore analysis o             Two ports configured for mesopore analysis All ports must operate independently or simultaneously to enable high-throughput analysis. Measurement Capabilities Must provide high-resolution physisorption analysis to determine: o             Specific surface area o             Pore volume o             Pore size distributions Capable of resolving pores in the range of 0.35 to 500 nm Minimum measurable surface area must be: o             0.01 m2/g, and as low as 0.0005 m2/g using low-pressure adsorptives (e.g., krypton) Gas Compatibility Compatible with non-corrosive gases, including but not limited to: o             Nitrogen (N ), Oxygen (0 ), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Carbon Dioxide (CO ), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen (H ), and Butane Vacuum Performance The vacuum system must include: o             A turbo molecular drag pump in series with a four-stage diaphragm pump Achieve an ultimate vacuum of 3. 75 x 1 o-i mm Hg Manifold outgas rate must be less than 0.1 1,.1m/min Pressure Transducer Accuracy System must be equipped with transducers meeting or exceeding: o             ±0.12% of reading (resolution?? 0.0001 mmHg) o             ±0.15% of reading at 0.1 mmHg (resolution ?? 0.000001 mmHg) Thermal and Cryogen Control Must include passive isothermal cryogen jacket or equivalent mechanism to maintain cryogenic conditions at the sample tube System Materials and Valving Construction must feature: o             Stainless steel gas lines, VCR connections, and a leak-tight manifold o             Pneumatically actuated, hard-seal valves to ensure clean, contamination-free operation Software and Diagnostics Must include a comprehensive software suite providing: o             Instrument control and real-time data acquisition o             Customizable reporting and advanced data analysis o             Diagnostic dashboard for monitoring system performance and maintenance status Accessories The analyzer must be compatible with an external degassing unit capable of preparing samples under vacuum or inert gas flow at elevated temperatures prior to analysis The analyzer must be compatible with a Peltier Temperature Control Device capable of maintaining a constant temperature between 0°C and 80°C   SUNY intends to make an award under our discretionary authority, pursuant to NYS Education Law 355 (5) {a}, which is up to $125,000, for the above noted commodity / product or service.
