About Us

About Advanced Measurement Instruments

Advanced Measurement Instruments (AMI) brings together the expertise and technologies of Altamira Instruments, Rubolab, ISI, STOE, and JWGB—five organizations with a long history of developing advanced tools for materials characterization.

At AMI, we design and manufacture high-precision instruments that empower the world’s most innovative companies, universities, and research laboratories to better understand and improve the materials that shape our world.

Our Focus

Our instruments analyze the thermal, physical, and chemical nature of materials—from catalysts and adsorbents to polymers, ceramics, and advanced composites.

01

Thermal Analysis (DSC, TGA, STA, PDSC)

Measuring heat flow, decomposition, and stability across precise temperature ranges.

02

Gas Sorption and Surface Characterization (BET, Chemisorption, Physisorption)

Determining surface area, porosity, and active site behavior critical to catalysis and adsorption science.

03

Density Measurement (Gas Pycnometry)

Quantifying true density and solid structure in powders, foams, and composite materials.

04

Turnkey Laboratory Systems (LabStart) 

Integrated, ready-to-operate laboratory packages for teaching, research, and industrial applications.

05

Gravimetric Analysis Systems (MSB, Vapor Sorption)

Measuring gas and vapor uptake by mass change to evaluate adsorption kinetics, diffusion, and equilibrium behavior.

06

Reactor Systems

Laboratory-scale catalytic reactors and microreactor platforms designed for kinetic studies, reaction screening, and process development.

07

X-Ray Diffraction

Single Crystal and Powder Systems – Identifying crystal structure, phase composition, and structural changes to verify material synthesis and monitor transformations in advanced materials.

A Global Organization

With manufacturing, R&D, and technical support operations in North America, Europe, and Asia, AMI serves research institutions and industries worldwide. Our shared focus is on scientific accuracy, long-term reliability, and practical engineering—values inherited from each of the companies that now form AMI.

We are driven by one guiding principle:

Innovation Within Reach — because discovery should never be limited by access to the right tools.
