Each station in the AMI-micro has an independent dosing manifold with three pressure transducers: 1000, 10, and 1 (or 0.1) mmHg. Each of the stations also includes an in-situ degassing module to allow for treatment of the sample to 400°C. This in-situ degassing thus prevents any contamination during possible sample transfer. In addition, the AMI-micro 100 and AMI-micro 200 are built with two dedicated degassing stations.
If multiple stations are selected, each station acts independently from the other. Thus, the instrument can start sorption experiments on different samples at the same time. Through software control, the AMI-micro can automatically:
• Dose adsorbate
• Raise and lower the dewar
• Determine if equilibrium conditions are satisfied
• Plot the real-time physisorption isotherm
• Heat the sample for degassing
• Measure p0 at each point with dedicated sensor
• Automatically correct for Free Space with He
