Free Online Dynamic Vapour Sorption Analysis (DVS or SA) Training

The online course is designed to give a basic overview of gravimetric sorption theory & technology. Focus is on the Discovery SA but will also be applicable to the Q5000SA, NOT the IsoSORP SA.  The presentation is aimed at new and intermediate users looking to obtain a greater understanding of the instrument technology, method optimisation and data analysis.  It would also be useful for people interested in finding out what sort of information can be obtained from SA.


Overall, the course will cover the following topics:
  • It discusses the performance checks that can be made
  • Starting points for the development of experimental methodologies
  • Method optimisation will be discussed with respect to the sample and the method
  • An overview of typical analysis being carried will be given along with some discussion of the advanced techniques available
