The laboratory is equipped with Micromeritics 3Flex volumetric Surface Area Analyzer for determining textural properties of solid materials. The instrument allows measurements of total surface area, pore volume and calculation of pore size distributions. The measurements are based on the adsorption of gases such as nitrogen or argon.

Micromeretics ASAP 2020 is also capable of measuring textural properties by adsorption of nitrogen and argon. On top of that the instrument can be also adjusted to measure adsorption of carbon dioxide or vapours with higher boiling point, such as water.
