Model:CEU
Use:To study the performance of packed bed chemical and biological catalytic reactors.
The CEU utilises the sugar inversion reaction (sucrose -> glucose + fructose) to study the performance of packed bed chemical and biological catalytic reactors.
A colorimetric assay is used to determine the degree of conversion using an optical sensor. Assays may be automated using optional flow injection analysis.
