Microreactor with Integrated Mass Spectrometer for Catalysis Studies | The CATLAB | Hiden Analytical

The Hiden CATLAB is a catalyst characterisation and microreactor system designed to make the analysis of catalysts rapid and simple.

CATLAB consists of two modules:

Module 1: is the Microreactor including temperature and flow control.
Module 2: is the Hiden Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system, which can also be used as a  stand-alone instrument.

The two modules are complimentary and have been designed to optimise system performance for continuous real time analysis of catalysts and evaluation of multiple reaction components simultaneously. Close-coupled connection means the mass spectrometer inlet is as close to the sample as possible. The result is maximum sensitivity and 500 millisecond response time. Accurate synchronisation of mass spectrometer signal with sample temperature is achieved via an integrated I/O subsystem.
