Operando spectroscopy is a critical tool in the field of catalysis. It takes its name from the Latin word for “working” as it covers spectroscopic analyses of catalytic reactions under working conditions. This differs from standard spectroscopic methods by combining spectroscopy of the catalyst under working conditions with on-line reaction monitoring. By combining these methods operando spectroscopy can offer new insights into different catalytic mechanisms representative of dynamic reaction pathways under real-world conditions. Read more

The performance of the Hiden family of plasma diagnostic tools is further advanced by integration of on-board timers for real-time pulsed plasma measurement, the fast gating fully controllable within the MASsoft operating program. Two timers provide ‘gate open/close’ and ‘gate increment’ periodicity with sub-microsecond gating resolution to just 100 nanoseconds, phasing data acquisition precisely with each individual plasma pulse.

Hiden HPR-20 and QGA series quadrupole mass spectrometers are configurable for diverse real-time gas analysis applications by selection of the appropriate application-specific process interface. The latest interface – the all-new dual-stream capillary sampling interface – is developed for process monitoring under flowing conditions to enable fast sample switching between the feed and exhaust gas streams.

The Hiden CATLAB-PCS combined microreactor and mass spectrometer system is purpose designed for the characterisation and evaluation of catalysts together with general thermal studies including temperature programmed desorption and reaction testing. The modular benchtop system features an advanced fast-response low thermal mass 1000C furnace together with multistream gas flow control of up to eight gas streams, and a precision Hiden quadrupole mass spectrometer with quartz inert sampling line close-coupled directly to the reactor for minimised dead volume and sample memory.

The Hiden CATLAB integrated micro-reactor/mass spectrometer system is specifically optimised for continuous quantitative real-time analysis of catalytic activity and reaction components. The close-coupled mass spectrometer samples directly from the reactor zone for fastest response and precise process characterisation, providing overall response times of less than 0.5 seconds and with data accumulation rates at up to 500 data-points per second.
