Hiden Biostream System for Biofuel Research

The Hiden Biostream system is a research-grade mass spectrometer developed specifically for applications in biofuel research to provide real-time analysis of dissolved gases and vapours in aqueous solutions, identifying and quantifying in real time gaseous species with molecular weights up to 300 amu. Algae-based biofuels such as biodiesel or bioethanol can have advantages over crop-based biofuels, growing at a significantly faster rate than many complex plants and, grown in compact closed systems, having potentially greater yield per unit area. The short reproduction cycle of suitable biofuel candidates together with the Hiden Biostream dissolved species analyser enables a fast testing and development cycle with subsequent potential cost benefit.
