Off-gas MS for microbial bioreactor cultures

Beskrivning

Purpose of procurement The aim of the purchase is to acquire an instrument to quantitatively analyze compounds in off-gas streams of the department’s bioreactors. To date, the department has relied on old off-gas analyzers for O2, CO2, and hydrocarbons. However, these have recently broken down, necessitating their replacement with more modern equipment. To this end, the acquisition of an off-gas mass spectrometer with associated multisampler would both enhance the department’s parallel sampling capacity and bring significantly improved measurement capabilities by broadening the range of measured compounds, improving sensitivity, and allowing identification of unknown off-gas components.
