Flow Reactors

A custom CDS pyroprobe and pulse reactor.

Custom CDS pyroprobe with autosampler coupled to homebuilt packed bed reactor. Reactor hasĀ  6 port valves to allow for either pulses or continuous flow of model compounds into the packed bed reactor. Vapor stream enters Shimdazu GC split to both MS and FID detectors. Light gases are quantified with online MKS MS connected to vent line.
