The SKP100 Scanning Kelvin Probe sets a new standard in surface science measurements. The Kelvin Probe is a non-contact, non-destructive instrument designed to measure the surface work function difference between conducting, coated, or semi-conducting materials and a sample probe. The technique operates using a vibrating capacitance probe. Through a swept backing voltage, the work function difference is measured between the scanning probe reference tip and sample surface.

The Recharge Center’s Quantachrome Autosorb-1 gas sorption system is available for use. Volume-pressure data measured by the system is converted by the software into BET surface area (single and/or multipoint), Langmuir surface area, adsorption and/or desorption isotherms, pore size and surface area distributions, micropore volume and surface area. The system operates by measuring the quantity of gas adsorbed onto or desorbed from a solid surface at some equilibrium vapor pressure by the static volumetric method.
