About Advanced Measurement Instruments (AMI)
Advanced Measurement Instruments (AMI) is a global developer and manufacturer of analytical instrumentation for materials characterization and catalyst research. AMI designs and manufactures systems for chemisorption, physisorption and BET surface area analysis, gas pycnometry, thermal analysis, gravimetric sorption, laboratory reactor systems, and X-ray diffraction. AMI brings together the expertise and technologies of Altamira Instruments, Rubolab, ISI, STOE, and JWGB to support universities, research laboratories, and industrial organizations worldwide.
What AMI Does
AMI instruments help researchers measure and understand the thermal, physical, structural, and chemical properties of materials.
Feature |
Description |
|---|---|
| Thermal Analysis | DSC, TGA, STA, and related techniques for heat flow, mass change, decomposition, transitions, and thermal stability. |
| Chemisorption & Physisorption | Systems for active-site characterization, gas adsorption, BET surface area, pore size, and adsorption behavior. |
| True Density | Gas pycnometry systems for measuring the true or skeletal density of powders and solid materials. |
| Reactor Systems | Laboratory-scale catalytic reactor systems for catalyst screening, kinetics, reaction testing, and process development. |
| Gravimetric Sorption | Systems that measure gas or vapor uptake by mass change to study adsorption, desorption, kinetics, and equilibria. |
| X-Ray Diffraction | Powder and single-crystal XRD systems for phase identification, crystal-structure, and structural analysis. |
Our Focus
Our instruments analyze the thermal, physical, and chemical nature of materials—from catalysts and adsorbents to polymers, ceramics, and advanced composites.
