Photocatalyst screening typically requires comparing the activities of many samples under the same illumination. A single-channel setup tests only one sample at a time, lengthening cycles and introducing large inter-batch errors. A multi-channel system integrates multiple reaction positions under one optical path, ensuring every channel receives identical light intensity and spectrum, so activity comparisons across catalysts become fairer and far more efficient.
| Module | Function | Key Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Independent quartz reactor array | Per-channel temperature control and sampling | Consistent sample placement |
| Homogenized light source | Even illumination to every channel | Uniformity calibration |
| Magnetic stir & gas loop | Supports gas-evolving reactions | Sealing integrity |
The PCX-50C Discover Multi-Channel Photocatalytic Reaction System uses an independent quartz reactor array, with each line individually temperature-controlled and sampled. After homogenization, the light is evenly distributed to all channels; combined with magnetic stirring and gas circulation, it suits parallel evaluation of gas-producing reactions such as water splitting and CO2 photoreduction. Researchers can place dozens of samples at once and synchronously collect gas-evolution data.
For multi-channel gas-evolving experiments, online detection is recommended—such as the Labsolar-6A All-Glass Automatic Online Micro-Gas Analysis System or the μGAS series—to achieve real-time product quantification. At the same time, calibrate the illumination uniformity of each channel to avoid false negatives caused by lower intensity at the edge channels.
