Intrinsic

Water DVS

The development of Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) by Professor Darryl Williams revolutionized vapour

sorption measurements in 1994. The manual desiccator test was brought into

the modern world of isotherms and computerized data capture and walk away

operation. All SMS models are designed, developed and produced in house.

The latest DVS models include a new, purpose designed SMS Ultra-Balance,

replacing dated Cahn technology.

The neat Intrinsic system shown right is the ideal instrument for routine use

in a QC lab or busy company.

Within R & D, applications range from studying polymorphism and stability to

studies of the bulk and surface adsorption effects of water and organic

vapors. It’s also a QC analysis technique for both scale-up and production,

and can be found measuring the efficacy and permeability of packaging materials, and the effects of

humidity and temperature on the samples within the packaging.

Advantage

Water & solvent DVS

The DVS Advantage is the most advanced and versatile dynamic

gravimetric vapour sorption capabilities in the SMS range;

indeed it is the most complete system on the market.

Applications in food, pharmaceuticals, fibres, films and porous

materials are supported with extensive applications experience,

and include simple stability testing using water isotherms up to

sophisticated prediction of solid-solid interactions.
