Hiden Isochema is delighted to announce the launch of our all-new ABR Automated Breakthrough Analyzer.

The ABR is designed to meet the needs of researchers wishing to characterize the gas separation performance of novel materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), without the time or expense of synthesizing larger quantities of material. Breakthrough curve measurement allows high-throughput screening and testing of adsorbents, for a wide range of separation processes including CO₂ capture and storage, the purification and recovery of noble gases, natural gas and biogas upgrading, toxic gas removal and air separation.

The ABR is a dedicated breakthrough analyzer, fully automated and supplied with an integrated close-coupled quadrupole mass spectrometer. Different configurations are available to suit research-scale samples, with bed volumes from 2 cc to 20 cc. Up to 6 gas inlets are available as well as a dedicated purge stream. Flow rates are selected to suit the specific applications, and the ABR includes an ultra-low dead volume switching valve. Options include an upgrade for operation at pressures up to 50 bar, and an integrated vapor generator module for gas-vapor operation. The breakthrough data obtainecomplementary to the adsorption-desorption isotherms measured using our IGA, XEMIS and IMI sorption analyzers.
