Catalyst characterization

From investigating air-sensitive catalyst samples to analyzing their performance in-operando, our capability in catalyst characterization is built on unrivalled experience and expertise.

A full decade of experience

In catalyst characterization we bring customers far more than basic experience in active site distributions or deactivation processes. This gives us a deep understanding of the characterization of (bio)catalysts in small molecule and polymer synthesis.

Solving real analytical challenges

Just one way that our catalyst characterization capabilities have helped customers:

• Investigating air-sensitive catalyst samples
  The challenge was finding that air-sensitive catalysts were deactivating. We provided valuable insight into the problem - and a subsequent improvement in performance using SEM-EDX imaging and mapping technologies.

Morphology

Morphology covers our ability to characterize the spatial assemblies of molecules. It answers the universal question: “What does the surface or interface of my product look like?" Combining the competences with data analysis & statistics and process analytics creates the unique capability to fully characterize a catalyst in its context.
