Hiden gas/vapour analysers, optimized specifically for fuel cell research, offer a number of key benefits over other analysis techniques: rapid response (critical for temperature programmed studies), wide dynamic range, repeatability and linearity, are all of the up most importance when analyzing processes - particularly those in the presence of hydrogen - with widely varying gas concentrations.

These features provide for accurate, stable and reproducible analysis of low molecular weight species, over a wide concentration range, present in a hydrogen rich atmosphere, and are found to be invaluable in applications such as the conversion of hydrocarbons, or alcohols, to hydrogen (reformers) for use in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells.
