  Due to the high requirements of their customers in the fifties, Carlo Erba developed the first generation of automated instruments for mercury porosimetry and volumetric gas adsorption.

In 1995 POROTEC became responsible for distribution in Switzerland and after opening our office in Vienna, Austria, the eastern European countries were also added to our sales region. In the same year POROTEC began distributing the Dynamic Vapour Sorption instruments for Surface Measurement Systems. In 1982 close contact with scientific researchers allowed us to organize the first "Workshop on the characterization of finely divided and porous solids". This 2 day event has been repeated every 2 years.
The XI
II. Workshop will be held traditionally in Bad Soden. With new innovative instruments representing the industrial standard for quality control and covering the requirements of fundamental research, POROTEC now offers a wide variety of instruments for the characterization of finely divided and porous solids. With our new Application-Lab we are able to demonstrate the instruments for Hg-porosimetry, physisorption, chemisorption, vapoursorption, density measurements, Particle Size measurements and temperature programmed desorption reduction oxidation and pulse-chemisorption. Within our lab we are able to improve our service capabilities with training courses and mandate analysis. This helps our customers to solve their analytical problems. POROTEC, together with the good cooperation of our customers and 35 years experience in development of scientific instruments, will continue to introduce new techniques in both hardware and software offering successful solutions, utilizing powerful instruments, combined with superior support services.
