  New Cryostat For Autosorb-1
To meet a growing need for temperature-specific measurement    capabilities in porous materials characterisation, Quantachrome Instruments and Oxford Instruments have    collaborated in developing a new cryostat for gas sorption studies at any temperature between 77 K and    200 K (-320°F and -100°F) using only liquid nitrogen as a cryogen, with a 24-hour hold time to enable
   round-the-clock experiments. more...
