AMI Matrix 1000 Series: Modular Multi-Station Surface Area & Pore Analysis System
Introduction
The AMI Matrix 1000 Series is a next-generation modular, multi-station gas physisorption system engineered to deliver high-throughput surface area and porosity analysis without compromising measurement precision. Built specifically to resolve the operational bottlenecks of growing research laboratories and high-volume industrial QA/QC facilities, the Matrix 1000 allows independent, simultaneous testing across multiple sample ports without cross-interference.
Through its innovative modular architecture, users can configure mesopore, micropore, or mixed-mode testing stations within a single instrument chassis and scale up to 12 completely independent stations managed from a unified software interface. Distributed and supported locally in Malaysia by LMS Scientific Solution Sdn Bhd, the AMI Matrix 1000 Series offers unparalleled testing flexibility for catalysts, energy materials, adsorbents, and advanced powders.

Key Advantages & Design Features
- Modular Multi-Station Architecture: Configure 1, 2, or up to 4 fully independent analysis stations per base chassis. Chain up to 3 units together to run up to 12 ports simultaneously with zero cross-talk.
- Mixed-Mode Analysis Versatility: Customize individual station sensor packages to run routine mesopore (BET) testing and high-resolution micropore analysis concurrently on the same system.
- Ultra-High Throughput & Speed: Complete 4-sample batch 5-point BET measurements in under 30 minutes, enabling throughputs of over 32 to 36 samples per 8-hour shift per instrument.
- Exceptional Reproducibility: Delivers measurement repeatability with Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) well below 0.3% on standard reference materials—surpassing the industry standard requirement of <1.0% RSD.
- Independent Dosing & Sensor Packages: Each analysis station features dedicated manifold dosing and high-accuracy pressure transducers to eliminate waiting cycles between ports.
- Integrated In-Situ & Offline Preparation: Offers integrated programmable thermal degas furnaces with active vacuum pressure monitoring to ensure clean surfaces prior to adsorption testing.
- Harsh Chemistry & Vapor Option: Available with special chemical passivation coatings and FFKM seals for testing reactive gases and vapor adsorption (such as water vapor isotherms).
Key Applications
The AMI Matrix 1000 Series serves a broad array of R&D and QA/QC application needs across Malaysian universities and industries:
- Production Quality Control (QA/QC): Rapid turnaround batch testing for alumina, silica, ceramic matrices, and metal powders.
- Heterogeneous Catalysis: Determination of BET specific surface area, active pore accessibility, total pore volume, and mesopore size distribution (2 – 50 nm)
- Battery & Energy Storage Materials: Characterization of anode and cathode active materials, conductive additives, separators, and porous carbons.
- MOFs, Zeolites & Carbon Capture: High-resolution micropore profiling (< 2nm) using N2, Ar, and CO2 adsorbates.
- Pharmaceuticals & Excipients: Specific surface area determination to evaluate dissolution kinetics and batch stability.
- Moisture Uptake & Vapor Sorption: Water vapor physisorption isotherms for evaluating hydration limits and hygroscopic behavior.
Advanced Software & Data Reduction
Powered by AMI’s APAS Multi-Station Control Software, the Matrix 1000 provides intuitive system management and data reduction:
- Parallel Station Monitoring: Real-time visual tracking of isotherm development across all active ports.
- Automated Safety & Protection Protocols: Intelligent anti-elutriation 3-stage evacuation protects fine powder samples from fluidization.
- Comprehensive Calculation Models:
- Single-point and Multi-point BET Surface Area
- Langmuir Specific Surface Area
- t-Plot & External Surface Area (STSA)
- BJH Mesopore Adsorption & Desorption Isotherms
- Horvath-Kawazoe (HK) & Saito-Foley (SF) Micropore Models
- Non-Local Density Functional Theory (NLDFT) Pore Size Distributions
- Total Pore Volume & Average Pore Size
