Miniature Reactor Platforms for Rapid Development of Catalytic Bio-Fuel Processes
22 Jan 2013Research into bio-fuels which are not based around human food-stuffs, but rather start as wild grass or a by-product (waste) from current food chain, requires experimental tools that are quite special and are a key part of the race to produce renewable source fuels. This article from HEL Ltd reviews the technologies that a currently available to facilitate such research.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.PumpsLaboratory pumps are devices used to move liquids and gases by vacuum or positive displacement. The pressures/vacuums generated are determined by the type of pump used. High vacuum pumps include diffusion, ion, roots and turbopumps; for primary/medium vacuum applications see rotary vane pumps, scroll & diaphragm pumps. For the positive displacement of liquids explore a range of syringe and peristaltic pumps, as well as fluid aspirators. Discover the best pumps in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Safety EquipmentLaboratory safety equipment is essential to the effective operation of all laboratories and is required to minimize the risk of harm during experiments. Safety equipment includes radiation safety, radioactive / hazardous waste disposal, alarms and personal safety.BiofuelBiofuelRenewable Energy
