2x Adsorption Analysis Equipment

Tender description

As part of the Dstl adsorbent material analysis capability, there is a requirement to acquire new analytical equipment. This desired expansion includes two pieces of equipment: • A Microscale Breakthrough Analyser o A piece of equipment capable of analysing breakthrough of hazardous vapours against adsorbent materials, and monitor the effluent concentrations of Hazards. o This testing is a key part in the understanding of adsorbent properties of materials against Chemical warfare agents and Toxic industrial chemicals. o As such, it supports and expands upon the micro-scale analysis capability. • A Dynamic Vapour Sorption Unit (DVS) o A piece of equipment designed to analyse adsorbent materials, determining their gravometric properties during exposure to contaminated airstreams. o This determines the adsorbent properties of the materials, as is necessary for our micro-scale analysis capability.
