20 channel array microreactor sub-system*
|
Fully computerized micro-jet liquid dispensing system for impregnation
|
*When sealed, each channel in the microreactor is separated, allowing for sampling of effluent gas from each individual catalyst.
|
*After upto 6 pre-determined quantities of stock solutions are dispensed into 300 wells, support pellets or powers are placed to affect impregnation.
|
|
Gas Chromatography(GC) and Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry(QMS) for rapid catalyst evaluation*
|
High-throughput pulsed laser ablation (PLA) system to produce metal nanoparticles*
|
*Micro-GC enables the complete analysis of gas samples using 2-4 different columns each with dedicated thermal conductivity detectors (TCD) for fast and high sensitivity catalyst screening. QMS enables ultra-fast gas analysis and screening.
|
*PLA system consists of 20 rotatable targets for combinatorial nanoparticle catalyst preparation, and 30 substrates for enhanced throughput.
