APPLICATIONS

  • Coupled with a Chemisorption Analyzer
  • The integration of mass spectrometry with chemisorption analyzers combines precise control of gas adsorption and desorption (e.g., TPD and TPR) with real-time, high-sensitivity gas composition analysis. This powerful combination allows dynamic monitoring of gas species, concentration changes, and temperature-dependent behavior during reactions. The result is deeper insight into the distribution of active sites, reaction kinetics, and structure–property relationships on material.
