Reactor-Ready and Lab Control Software automate and improve experiment control Contacts: Research Organisation: Agency for Defense Development Department: R&D Country: South Korea Product: Lab Control Software and Reactor-Ready Case Study No: CS1019 SituationPreviously used an oil bath or Heat-On block with inefficient manual control of pH, exothermic reactions and data logging. Objectives Improve percentage yield and product quality. Automate pH feedback control and automatic cooling whenever an exothermic reaction occurred. Capture and log all data and events automatically. Results All devices interlinked, automatically controlled and data logged – temperature control circulator, overhead stirrer, balance, vacuum level setting, peristaltic pump, pH. The net result was a greater amount of better products with comprehensive data recorded.
