Specifications

System Software

Next-generation purpose-built control and evaluation software for the most advanced experimental design and data analysis.

DVS Control

Complex protocols for multiple experimental sequences using sample pre-heating and conditioning; isotherm, isobar, and ramped humidity and organic vapor methods; single or dual vapor delivery and control; a fixed time or mass derivative steps.

Multiple-method protocols incorporating	•Sample pre-heating • Vapor sorption • Vapor exchange • Dual vapor co-adsorption • Temperature changes in a single experiment, including • Ramp or step changes in relative humidity • Automated video image acquisition • Organic vapor sorption partial pressure • Temperature stages may be based on fixed-time or user-defined dm/dt criteria • Complex isotherm experiments • Experiments may include half, full, or multiple partial pressure or temperature cycles
Analysis	• Isotherms • Permeability and diffusion • Kinetics information • Heat of sorption • Tg determinations • Amorphous content • BET
	21CFR Part 11 software solution is available for all DVS software upon request.
