Micromeritics Instrument Corp.

Company Overview

Micromeritics Instrument Corp. provides scientific instruments and laboratory equipment for research related to particle science and particle technology, including nanoscience. Particle size analyzers employ laser diffraction, sedimentation and electrozone sensing. Physical adsorption and mercury porosimetry instruments determine surface area and porosity. Material density can be determined by gas pycnometry and solids displacement. Chemical adsorption techniques are used to determine the active area of catalysts, metal dispersion and surface energy. Temperature-programmed chemisorption techniques are used in the chemisorption product line. Pharmacology is one field that relies on Micromeritics' instruments to determine the physical characteristics of powders and solid materials.
