Lot number: 1
Title of the lot: A Low-Pressure Volumetric Gas Porosimeter
Short description:

Low Pressure (0 — 1 atm) Volumetric Porosimetry remains the principle technique for determination of specific surface area (SSA) and for obtaining adsorption/desorption isotherms for porous materials and is an invaluable tool for the support of cutting edge research in materials science. The porosimetry systems detailed herein will support multiple researchers at the University of Limerick and will be applied to the study of a wide range of porous materials. Specifically, we are in need of a single high-resolution low pressure volumetric system; The Low-Pressure Volumetric Gas Proosimeter will entail a high resolution, research quality porosimeter for detailed analysis of adsorption/desorption isotherms of multiple adsorptives for microporous Metal-Organic Materials.

Lot number: 2
Title of the lot: A High Pressure Gas Porosimeter
Short description:

High Resolution Research-Grade High-Pressure (<50 atm) Porosimetry remains a principle technique for obtaining adsorption/desorption isotherms for porous materials and is an invaluable tool for the support of cutting edge research in materials science. The porosimetry system detailed herein will support multiple researchers at the University of Limerick and will be applied to the study of a wide range of porous materials. Specifically, we are in need of 1 system; The High Pressure Gas Porosimeter will entail a high resolution, research quality high-pressure porosimeter for detailed analysis of adsorption/desorption isotherms of multiple adsorptives for microporous Metal-Organic Materials.

Lot number: 3
Title of the lot: A Research-Grade DVS Analyser with Vacuum Capabilities
Short description:

The dynamic vapour sorption (DVS) analysers detailed herein will support multiple researchers at the University of Limerick and will be applied to the study of a wide range of materials from pharmaceuticals to metal-organic materials. Specifically, we are in need of 2 systems; This system (Lot 3.A) will entail a research quality dynamic vapour sorption analyser with vacuum capabilities for detailed analysis of adsorption/desorption isotherms of multiple adsorptives for Metal-Organic Materials.

Lot number: 4
Title of the lot: A Basic DVS Analyser
Short description:

The dynamic vapour sorption (DVS) analysers detailed herein will support multiple researchers at the University of Limerick and will be applied to the study of a wide range of materials from pharmaceuticals to metal-organic materials. Specifically, we are in need of 2 systems; This System (Lot 3.B) will be a more standard research quality instrument with basic dynamic vapour sorption analysis capabilities to be used primarily with pharmaceuticals.
