Dissolved species analyser designed for algae research

May 31 2023

As algae-based research rises in prominence for its potential in renewable energy production and climate change mitigation, the need for high-precision analytical equipment is paramount. Hiden Analytical is excited to announce that the Hiden HPR-40 DSA (Dissolved Species Analyser) is proving to be a perfect research tool in the rapidly evolving algae research landscape.

The HPR-40 DSA is designed to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of dissolved gases within aquatic environments, a fundamental aspect of advancing our understanding of algal metabolism, including critical processes such as photosynthesis and respiration.

One of the distinct advantages of the HPR-40 DSA system is its ability to monitor the delicate balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide during the photosynthetic process of algae. With real time tracking, the HPR-40 DSA yields invaluable insights into the photosynthetic rates and patterns of these vital aquatic organisms.

Beyond simply understanding algae metabolism, the HPR-40 DSA's capabilities extend to tracking changes in the health and productivity of algae populations. Early detection of potential issues, such as a decrease in oxygen production, is made possible by the Hiden system, signalling any health compromises within the algae populations.

In addition, the HPR-40 DSA plays a crucial role in establishing optimal growth conditions for algae. By tracking dissolved gas concentrations continuously, researchers are empowered to adjust environmental parameters, promoting optimal growth and productivity for algae.

The potential of algae as a renewable biofuel source adds to the significance of the HPR-40 DSA. Its sensitivity and rapid response time make it the ideal tool for optimising the hydrogen gas production process in certain algae strains.

In ecological and climate change research, the HPR-40 DSA contributes invaluable insights. Algal population changes often reflect alterations in dissolved gas concentrations, thereby providing key data on ecological dynamics. Additionally, as algae play a significant role in global carbon cycles, the HPR-40 DSA is indispensable for accurate climate change modelling.

Equipped with state-of-the-art membrane sampling technology, the HPR-40 DSA offers comprehensive coverage of algae's metabolic processes. Whether you are investigating renewable energy sources, ecological impacts, or climate change scenarios, the Hiden HPR-40 DSA delivers crucial data for ground-breaking algae research.
