What industries use AMI Instruments?

AMI instruments are widely used in catalysis, energy storage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food & beverage, sustainable energy (hydrogen, solar, batteries), nanotechnology, and environmental research. Our customers range from academic institutions to global industrial labs.

AMI instruments cover BET surface area, pore size and volume, true density, chemisorption (TPR/TPD/TPO), gravimetric adsorption, thermal analysis (DSC/TGA), X-ray diffraction, catalytic activity testing, and bench-scale reactor studies.

Physisorption (gas adsorption) uses weak van der Waals interactions to measure surface area and porosity — typically with nitrogen or argon. Chemisorption involves stronger chemical bonds and is used to characterize catalysts — measuring active site density, metal dispersion, and reducibility using reactive gases like H₂ or CO.

Yes. Many AMI systems can be configured with accessories, additional gas lines, custom temperature ranges, and software modules to meet specific research or quality-control requirements. Our applications team will help you define the ideal configuration.

LabStart™ is AMI’s turnkey lab program — designed for new labs, facility expansions, or instrument refreshes. We configure a fully compatible suite of instruments from our portfolio, deliver a single quote and invoice, and provide dedicated applications support from day one.

AMI provides installation and commissioning, on-site user training, ongoing applications support, remote diagnostics, and preventive maintenance programs. Our goal is to make sure your instrument performs at specification from day one — and throughout its lifetime.
