Watch a short video about HEL's HP ChemSCAN

This short video (just over 2 minutes) describing hydrogenation and catalyst screening with HEL's HP ChemSCAN is intended to give a very quick overview of this innovative, robust product. Further details available on HEL's website.

Parallel catalyst and hydrogenation platform - UPDATED!!!


Our trusted HP ChemSCAN, designed for hydrogenation and catalyst screening - has been updated and upgraded, and now boasts the following features and benefits:

- Independent pressure measurement in each vessel
- Individual pressure control, allowing tests at different pressure
- On-line gas consumption calculation and display, in each reactor
- Individual temperature control for each vessel
- A range/difference of over 100°C between the reactors
- Ability to perform reactions down to -60°C

Still offering excellent mixing, but now the new flexible HPCS platform can also be used with different size reactors. Whilst the standard remains 16ml for each vessel with a working volume down to 3ml, it is now possible to replace or interchange those with 75 ml and 120 ml reactors.
