High-Throughput Degassing with the Nova Degassing Accessory

Anton Paar’s Nova Degassing Accessory offers a streamlined approach to laboratory degassing, combining high-throughput capability with efficiency and versatility. All-in-one degassing for high-throughput workflows featuring eight degassing and cooling stations, the Nova Degassing Accessory is capable of heating samples up to 425 °C. With two heating zones, users can tailor thermal conditions to different sample types, optimizing throughput and minimizing preparation time.

Integrated design with no external equipment 

By integrating vacuum and flow degassing into a single, compact platform, the accessory eliminates the need for external pumps or tools, helping laboratories reduce their instrument footprint and additional costs.

Built-in traceability

A software-programmable sample ID feature supports traceable, repeatable workflows, ideal for laboratories working in regulated environments or conducting routine batch analyses.

About the Nova series

The degassing accessory is designed to complement the Nova series of BET surface area and pore structure analyzers, Anton Paar’s high-throughput platform for precise, reliable surface area and porosity measurements.

Nova systems deliver four five-point BET analyses in around 20 minutes, with reproducibility near 2 %, even for low-surface-area samples. With integrated degassing stations and multiple analysis stations, sample prep and measurement are handled within one compact system, rather than across several devices.

Operation is simplified thanks to a touchscreen interface, preset method profiles (ASTM, ISO, USP), and intelligent dosing features like DoseWizard and VectorDose, which optimize measurement time while maintaining accuracy.

Advanced features for accuracy and sensitivity

Nova also comes equipped with a range of innovative hardware features to enhance sensitivity and traceability, including:

• TruZone active coolant-level control to minimize non-adsorbed gas volume and improve detection of adsorbed molecules
• A dedicated P₀ cell for accurate saturation pressure monitoring
• A helium-free void volume measurement mode ('Nova mode') to reduce helium dependency without compromising performance

21 CFR Part 11 compliance with Kaomi software

The Nova platform is supported by the Kaomi-for-Nova software, a smart software solution for running analyses, processing data, and managing reports across up to four analyzers from a single PC. For regulated environments, a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant configuration adds features like audit trails, electronic signatures, user management, and customizable reporting – all backed by a comprehensive pharma qualification and requalification package.

Flexibility for your workflow

The Nova series supports diverse applications, whether you're analyzing pharmaceutical powders, battery materials, catalysts, or other porous solids. Compatible with a range of gases (model-dependent), it enables measurement of surface area, pore volume, and pore size, and is fully upgradeable for future needs.
