DVS Vacuum
Gravimetric Gas/Vapor Sorption Vacuum Analyzer

For the measurement of kinetics and physiosorption isotherms of Zeolites, MOFs, COFs, Carbons, and composite materials, there is no better instrument available than the DVS Vacuum.

Designed for single and multicomponent vapor/gas sorption analysis, the system offers precise control, accuracy, and measure of temperature and pressure while recording the changes in sample mass.

The DVS Vacuum produces its vacuum with a combination of roughing and turbomolecular pumps for its operation. Maintaining thermal equilibrium throughout the vacuum chamber, including the sample, pressure transducers, vapor/gas delivery systems, and solvent flasks, the system enables smooth operation over the entire temperature range (10-70 °C) without risk of condensation.

The system introduces partial pressures of water or organic solvent under a vacuum to minimize their impact on the structure of a material. The analyzer then measures true water or organic vapor sorption isotherms without unnecessary interference from a carrier gas. In addition, it allows us to study the drying kinetics of pharmaceutical powders, greatly expanding the applications of the instrument.

Long-Term Temperature Stability

Maintaining vapor generation and delivery manifold at the sample temperature, the DVS Vacuum’s innovative design prevents condensation issues common to other instruments on the market, and ensures long-term temperature stability.

Pressure measurements

The DVS Vacuums is the world’s most advanced vacuum DVS device, enabling direct, gas-independent, high-accuracy pressure measurement.

Reliable Precision Mass Measurements

With the unrivaled precision of the Surface Measurement Systems Ultrabalance at its core, the DVS Vacuum has unmatched balance baseline stability over 24 hours, capable of measuring mass changes at a resolution of 0.1ug with peak-to-peak noise of less than or equal to 0.3 ug.
