AMI-Sync Series

INTRODUCTION
- The AMI-Sync Series is a fully automated, high-performance line of gas physisorption analyzers designed for rapid and accurate surface area and pore size characterization of porous and non-porous materials. Whether analyzing catalysts, zeolites, MOFs, or advanced battery materials, the AMI-Sync Series delivers robust vacuum-volumetric measurement systems backed by intuitive software and comprehensive support for both standard and advanced adsorption techniques.
- Available in flexible 1-, 2-, or 4-station configurations, the AMI-Sync Series features a common P₀ measuring transducer and supports simultaneous saturation vapor pressure measurements. Each unit is built for high-throughput performance, with options for a dedicated pressure transducer per station to maximize speed, or a shared sensor setup for cost efficiency. A single large-volume dewar supports multiple stations simultaneously, offering an ideal solution for space-conscious laboratories with demanding workloads.

KEY FEATURES
- Customizable Configuration for Throughput Analysis Needs
- The AMI-Sync series offers a scalable solution with up to four high-resolution measurement stations for precise pore size and surface area analysis. For increased throughput, additional instruments can be linked via LAN, expanding to 12 analysis ports with centralized and remote-control capabilities.
- Extended Analysis Duration
- AMI-Sync analyzers are equipped with large 3-liter Dewar flasks that allow over 90 hours of continuous analysis. The system supports live refilling during experiments, ensuring uninterrupted data collection during long runs and complex isotherm acquisitions.
- High Sensitivity & Reproducibility
- The AMI-Sync Series delivers precise and reliable surface area and porosity data, with a BET detection limit as low as 0.1 m² absolute and 0.01 m²/g specific. It offers outstanding reproducibility—within 1% on standard reference materials like BAM P115—ensuring confidence in repeated analyses.
- Precision-Engineered Hardware
- Built with stainless steel and vacuum-brazed manifolds, the system features ultra-durable bellows valves rated for over 5 million cycles. Temperature control maintains ±0.05 °C stability, while 32-bit pressure sensors provide high-resolution, accurate data capture.
- Cryo TuneTM (Optional Feature)
- Unlock advanced temperature control with Cryo TuneTM, an optional low-temperature cold bath system designed for precision adsorption studies. Fully integrated with Sync software, Cryo TuneTM allows users to effortlessly conduct adsorption isotherm measurements across a range of temperatures.
- Optimized Manifold Contamination Control
- A two-step filtration system protects the manifold from particulates reducing contamination risks and extending instrument life. Combined with stainless steel construction and high-cycle bellows valves, the system ensures clean, reliable operation even in high-throughput environments.
- Compact & Lab-Ready
- All models share a compact footprint of 51 ×53 × 93 cm, making them ideal for space-conscious labs. Despite their compact size, Sync analyzers are fully equipped for both research-grade and industrial applications, offering power, durability, and precision in one system.
SOFTWARE
- Sync Series analyzers are driven by a multilingual, user-friendly software suite that supports:
- • Control of up to 8 instruments from a single PC
• Built-in method libraries for fast setup and repeatability
• Customizable analysis profiles with real-time system feedback
