Fermentation Headspace Analysis with the Questor IV Process Analyzer
Extrel's Questor process analyzers have proven valuable to the fermentation industry in the monitoring of headspace gases in fermentation reactors. Data obtained provides important information on metabolic pathways, oxygen uptake, and respiratory quotients can be used to optimize production. In addition, the mass spectrometers low detection limits can provide valuable insight into process by-products such as alcohols, acid and complex aldehydes. Request information

Monitoring of Methanol as a By-Product of Fermentation Processes
The Questor has demonstrated the ability to monitor parts per million concentration levels of methanol (CH3OH) in fermentation processes. The evolution and detection of alcohols such as methanol is a key indicator in fermentation process optimization. Request information
