TriStar II 3020

Degasser

Micromeritics has the following degassing unit available for preparing samples:
• SmartPrep 065
The SmartPrep uses flowing-gas to remove adsorbed contaminants from the sample surface and
pores. It contains six sample ports, each one independently controlled for greater flexibility. It
contains two serial ports, one for connecting to the computer and a second for connecting an
additional SmartPrep. Up to four SmartPreps can be connected in sequence allowing the capability
of up to 24 preparation ports at one time.
The SmartPrep also can be controlled through the analyzer application and is the recommended
degassing unit for the analyzer.

Software

The TriStar II 3020 program allows other computer applications to run while an automatic operation is
in progress. The Help menu provides access to the online manual and instructional videos on using the
software.
The TriStar II 3020 program offers a Windows interface with an easy way to collect, organize, archive
and reduce raw data and store sample information files for later use. The reports can be generated to
screen, paper, or exported for use in other applications. Cut and paste graphics, scalable and editable
graphs, and customized reports are easily generated.

User-defined Reports

Report options can be specified when creating the sample information file. When an analysis is run,
data gathered during the analysis process are compiled into the predefined reports. Reports can also be
defined and generated after an analysis has been run. Each selected report is displayed on its own tab
and reflects data collected during the analysis.

Report Features

• After analysis, reports can be viewed, printed, and/or copied and pasted into other documents.
• The report zoom feature provides the viewing of fine graph details and the ability to shift the axes.
Reports can be customized with a choice of fonts and a logo added to the report header.
