Since
the founding of the Quantachrome GmbH in 1990, we stand for the
thorough characterization of particles, powders and porous materials.
Starting with instrument sales and an initial focus on instrument
service and maintenance, we started off with the (at the time)
technologically advanced Cilas-Lasergranulometers as well as the pore
and surface analyzers from Quantachrome. In 1999 and 2005 we expanded
our product portfolio with the leading analytical instruments of Dispersion Technology and Formulaction respectively.
Since 2002, our sales of instruments, technical services and contract
analysis have continually increased and the number of employees has
doubled since then.
All instruments offered by us are also available in our scientific application laboratory LabSPA (Laboratory for Scientific Particle Analysis)
for contract analysis. Experienced technicians are at your service for
analysis contracts, method development or extensive laboratory projects.
The constant expansion of our LabSPA has led to an
increase in customers satisfied with our services. A number of companies
have already outsourced their quality control into our LabSPA.
In 2014 we established our own R&D-department and are now offering our very own series of instruments for mixed gas adsorption and vapor sorption worldwide. Under www.dynamicsorption.com you can find scientific publications, posters and presentations available for direct download, supplying you with extensive knowledge about measurement capabilities for dynamic sorption methods. The mixSorb-series of instruments (mixed gas and vapor sorption) is Made in Germany
and is already in use in Austria, Belgium, China, Germany, Japan and
USA, among others. Our R&D-department is constantly evolving
throughout these projects and cooperating with a number of research
institutions within certain projects.
Continuity and reliability in the field of instrument services have been a mainstay of our work and over the course of 30 years
it has led to high customer satisfaction overall. This is mainly due to
the excellent and sustainable work of our highly qualified service
technicians. Professional conduct, flexibility and fast reaction times
are the base for our efforts in the service department. We will maintain
this level of quality for the future by a constant expansion both in
local branches and in the number of technicians as well as regular
professional trainings and workshops. Above all else, we will stay true
to our motto, that as long as spare parts and technological solutions
are available and the customer wishes so, we will repair any instrument,
no matter how old, which is in big contrast to a lot of other
instrument manufacturers.
In the middle of 2018, we began a new chapter in our company history: Quantachrome GmbH & Co. KG became 3P Instruments. This change of name came with a restructuring of our portfolio and a distinct internationalization of our company. Our own mixSorb sorption analyzers
for mixture sorption and determination of breakthrough curves is now
handled by us worldwide and we became the European headquarters for
other instrument groups. This is of course posing a challenge,
which we are addressing as a team and in close cooperation with our own
suppliers and international sales partners.
