The FloVac Degasser combines two separate sample preparation techniques into a single elegant solution. This stand-alone device features six sample stations, each with individual control valves to allow the addition or removal of individual sample cells without interrupting the other samples in process. The fully programmable temperature controller (up to 126 ramp, soak and step segments) capable of interfacing to a PC for programming, recording and graphing, provides full optimization for a wide variety of sample types. The FloVac Degasser will provide a virtually continuous supply of properly prepared samples for the NOVA, QUADRASORB SI or AUTOSORB series of surface area and pore size analyzers.

As a vacuum degasser, adjustable evacuation rates add convenience and versatility. A selection of fittings are provided to accommodate short and tall glassware as well as three different diameter stems. A digital vacuum/pressure display affords easy checking of state of outgassing.

When used as a flow degasser, needle valves allow careful control of flow rate to avoid elutriation (blowing out) of fine powders. The metal flow tubes for each station provide variable depth insertion into any sample cell.

Cooling stations are provided to hold sample cells after sample preparation for rapid and safe cooling.

The Flow Degasser is available for laboratories needing only flow degassing capabilities. It features the same individual flow rate control for each sample station, cooling stations and programmable temperature controller with PC interface.
