Continuous and Accurate Reaction Monitoring with Real-Time Analysis
Real-time analysis using mass spectrometry instruments enables constant qualitative and quantitative information on chemical concentrations or the formation of new species in an active reaction mixture [1]. This is particularly important in biotech and fermentation processes, which require carefully balanced oxygen uptake and carbon production rates for optimal yields. Real-time gas analysis also benefits atmospheric monitoring and the evaluation of…
