## Description
As part of the Dstl adsorbent material analysis capability, there is a requirement to acquire new analytical equipment. This desired expansion includes two pieces of equipment:
•	A Microscale Breakthrough Analyser 
o	A piece of equipment capable of analysing breakthrough of hazardous vapours against adsorbent materials, and monitor the effluent concentrations of Hazards.
o	This testing is a key part in the understanding of adsorbent properties of materials against Chemical warfare agents and Toxic industrial chemicals. 
o	As such, it supports and expands upon the micro-scale analysis capability.
•	A Dynamic Vapour Sorption Unit (DVS)
o	A piece of equipment designed to analyse adsorbent materials, determining their gravometric properties during exposure to contaminated airstreams.
o	This determines the adsorbent properties of the materials, as is necessary for our micro-scale analysis capability.
