About this product

BELSORP MR 1 is a fully automated single-point BET surface area analyzer using dynamic gas flow — a measurement in about 15 minutes, with simultaneous pretreatment, automatic Dewar handling and touch-panel operation.

What Is the BELSORP MR 1: Automated Single-Point BET

The BELSORP MR 1 measures BET specific surface area by the dynamic flow method with a thermal conductivity detector. It pretreats one sample while measuring another, moves the Dewar automatically and reports results to USB — a fast, walk-up surface-area check for QC. See full specifications below.

Why QC labs choose the BELSORP MR 1

Fast, automated single-point BET without manual calculation.

Fast single-point BET

A surface-area result in about 15 minutes by dynamic gas flow — routine BET without the wait of a full volumetric isotherm.

Walk-up automation

Simultaneous pretreatment and measurement, automatic Dewar movement and touch-panel operation — load, start, walk away.

No manual calculation

Built-in analysis reports BET surface area directly to USB storage — no spreadsheet and no manual math between runs.

Compact & simple

350×553×368 mm and 30 kg. Nitrogen or krypton adsorbate with a helium carrier — a straightforward QC-floor surface-area check.

How Additive Plus delivers it

Configured to your samples, installed and method-supported.

Step 01
Configure

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

What is single-point BET and when is it enough?
Single-point BET measures adsorption at one relative pressure and calculates surface area from it, rather than building a full multi-point isotherm. For routine QC and lot-to-lot comparison of similar materials it gives a fast, repeatable number in about 15 minutes on the BELSORP MR 1. When you need the most accurate absolute surface area or pore-size data, a multi-point volumetric analyzer such as the BELSORP MINI X is the better fit — we help you decide.
How fast is a measurement and is it automated?
A single-point BET measurement takes about 15 minutes excluding pretreatment. The BELSORP MR 1 pretreats one sample while measuring another, moves the liquid-nitrogen Dewar automatically and runs from a touch panel, so it operates largely unattended. Results are reported to USB storage, making it a practical walk-up surface-area check on a busy QC floor.
What surface area range and repeatability does it deliver?
The BELSORP MR 1 measures BET surface area from 0.01 m²/g with repeatability of ±1.0%. Nitrogen is the usual adsorbate; krypton is available for lower-area samples. That range and repeatability suit incoming-material QC for battery powders, catalysts, ceramics and pharmaceuticals where you compare surface area against a specification.
Which gases and sample pretreatment does it use?
The dynamic-flow method uses nitrogen or krypton as the adsorbate with helium as the carrier gas. Samples are degassed up to 400 °C to remove moisture and contaminants before measurement, and pretreatment runs in parallel with measurement to save time. We help you set the pretreatment temperature so the surface is clean without altering the material.
How compact is it and what does it need to run?
The BELSORP MR 1 is 350×553×368 mm and about 30 kg, running on standard 100–240 V single-phase power at 400 W. It needs a liquid-nitrogen Dewar and supplies of the adsorbate and carrier gas. The compact footprint and touch-panel operation make it well suited to a production QC bench rather than a dedicated analysis lab.
What lead time and support come with the BELSORP MR 1?
The BELSORP MR 1 is configured to order, so lead time depends on gas configuration and options — request a current timeline and we confirm it in writing. Every unit includes installation, touch-panel and software training and a validated first single-point BET run on your own sample, backed by application engineering with a sub-4-hour response.
