Surface Measurement Systems Ltd

Surface Measurement Systems Ltd develops and engineers innovative experimental techniques and instrumentation for physico-chemical characterization of complex solids.

“World leaders in sorption science and pioneers of the now widely used Dynamic Vapor Sorption technique”

Surface Measurement Systems Ltd is an expert in dynamic vapor sorption and inverse gas chromatography technology instrumentation and solutions, providing professional world-class scientific and technical support for international customers.

By carefully controlling, measuring and analysing the physicochemical interaction of vapours with solid samples such as powders, fibres and films, Surface Measurement Systems Ltd can help solve problems in research and development, such as stability studies and drying performance, through to manufacturing and quality control.

Product Range

Dynamic Vapor Sorption Instrument(DVS): DVS Adventure

Our range of DVS instruments measure uptake and loss of moisture and organic vapours by a sample, allowing sorption behaviour to be accurately determined.

Surface Energy Analyser (iGC-SEA)

Almost all particulate solids can be characterised according to their surface.

Our SEA is unique and allows characterizing surface and bulk properties of powders, particulates, fibers, films and semi-solids using a fully automated inverse gas chromatography principle.

Dynamic Gravimetric Vapor (DVS) Analyzer

The DVS Vacuum is an advanced gravimetric system that is designed to support both dynamic and static experiments.
