IGAsorp Moisture Sorption Analyser
A fully programmable bench-top gravimetric vapour sorption analyser, for the characterisation of products with respect to temperature and humidity environments. It is used to study water sorption at atmospheric pressure by passing a humidified stream of gas over the sample, and can be applied to a wide range of studies from fundamental research to routine quality assurance/control. Isothermal studies can be performed as a function of humidity (0-95%) in the temperature range 5°C to 85°C.
The Dynamic Vapour Sorption technique (or DVS ) allows measurement of the moisture interaction at ambient pressure, and is used for analysis of a wide range of materials.
Some typical applications of the IGAsorp are:
| Moisture Uptake Characterisation | Vapour Sorption isotherms |
| Amorphous Phase Detection | Drying and Rehydration rates |
| Hydrate Analysis | Surface Energy Determination |
| Permeability and Diffusivity | Cyclic/lifetime studies |
| Adsorption capacity and kinetics | MVTR or WVTR measurement |
| pharmaceuticals | foods |
| packaging | encapsulation |
| cosmetics | textiles |
| electronic components | dessicants |
An optional heater permits drying studies and thermal desorption experiments up to 350°C. An organic vapour upgrade permits measurements with vapours of volatile organic compounds. 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software is also available.
