Mass Flow Reactors & Product Analysis Methods
Several mass flow reactors are available for the screening of catalytic activity. Online and offline catalyst product analysis is available for both gaseous and liquid products in gas phase thermal catalysis and electrochemical reactions. For obtaining product-selectivity data, analysis is done during and after the reaction.
