Why Co-Adsorption Testing Is Critical
Single-component isotherms provide useful baseline data, but they do not capture the competitive interactions between CO₂ and H₂O that determine performance in practice.
This study demonstrates how advanced gravimetric and breakthrough techniques can be used together to:
- Evaluate sorbents under humid operating conditions
- Identify competitive, cooperative, or non-interacting adsorption behavior
- Define performance limits and regeneration behavior earlier in development
What This Case Study Covers
Using a promising MOF supplied by novoMOF, the study illustrates how DVS Carbon and BTA Frontier enable detailed assessment of carbon capture materials under mixed-gas conditions.
Inside the case study, you’ll learn:

Why DVS Carbon & BTA Frontier?
Understanding sorbent performance under humidity is essential but often experimentally complex and time-consuming.
By integrating high-resolution gravimetric sorption analysis with dynamic breakthrough testing, DVS Carbon and BTA Frontier allow researchers to work with small sample quantities and control humidity and gas composition precisely. They also have the ability to quantify capacity, kinetics, stability, and regeneration behavior with confidence.
Together, they provide a comprehensive, process-relevant toolkit for evaluating advanced carbon capture materials.

Across the World,
SMS’ers Celebrated the Festivities in Style!
It’s been a busy end to the year for Surface Measurement Systems, with a huge push in instrument sales, Production sending products flying out the door, and Sales still hitting the road to drum up those last bits of busy!
Somehow, we’ve still found time across the world to celebrate our festive seasons as a team! From Diwali in Hyderabad to Christmas in London, the Global SMS Team celebrated the festivities in style!
SMS India & PCL Celebrate Diwali
| The SMS India & PCL Team held a special event to celebrate the five-day Diwali Festival. Marking the Hindu New Year, Diwali symbolizing new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil. Also known as the Festival of Lights, Diwali is celebrated through the sharing of meals and sweets, decorating with oil lamps called “diyas”, making colorful patterns on the floor called rangoli (see below), and setting off fireworks. Hopefully, this last activity was done outside of the office.
Happy Diwali to all our Hindu colleagues in Hyderabad, and around the world! |
SMS UK Toast Christmas at Pub Party
| The team from Surface Measurement Systems London got in the Festive spirit with a company lunch at the Defector’s Weld Pub in Shepherd’s Bush. Following a hearty meal, company Founder & MD, assumed the sacred duty of handing out Secret Santa gifts to all members of staff. |
SMSNA Saving the Best for Last
Not to be outdone, our colleagues at SMSNA are saving their best for last, having their Christmas Staff Meal later this week! We wish them a happy Season’s Greetings, and hope they have a great day celebrating the festive season!
