Increased throughput delivered by the new H-Cube Pro™

The H-Cube Pro improves upon the original H-Cube by offering greater hydrogen production (up to 60 mL/min) for higher throughput, wider temperature range (from 10 – 150 °C) including – for the first time – active cooling for more selective reactions. In this application note, we compare the H-Cube with the new H-Cube Pro in terms of throughput. The aim is to see how much more concentrated we can run a reaction on the H Cube Pro by taking advantage of the greater hydrogen production capability.

Hydrogenation of D-glucose to D-sorbitol using continuous flow hydrogenation apparatus

This application note demonstrates the H-Cube Pro’s increased productivity in the hydrogenation of D-glucose to D-sorbitol, which is believed to be a key intermediate in biofuel production. Both the use of elevated temperatures and increased concentration were proven to be advantageous for the outcome of the reaction, resulting in higher selectivity of the desired compound and higher throughput over the H-Cube Pro continuous flow system.
