Vapourtec has dramatically increased the capabilities of its E-Series flow chemistry system with the introduction of optional, user interface software.

The new software has been developed with customer feedback and utilises intuitive touchscreen technology. It allows fully automated reactions to run unattended and provides the foundation for automated reaction optimisation.

It also creates the opportunity for implementing machine learning (ML) algorithms though an industry standard OPC UA interface.

The improvements include data logging, a schematic editor for defining experimental settings and the ability to run one or multiple, fully automated, reaction conditions.

In addition, the interface allows for the integration of external equipment including additional pumps, reactors, recirculators and inline analytics.

Vapourtec MD Duncan Guthrie explained: “The new software’s data logging and graphing capability sets new standards for the industry. 

“The user is given the option to instantly choose which data sets to present and can define the number of graphs displayed.  The touchscreen allows intuitive real-time zooming of X and Y data axes. 

“Understanding and reviewing real-time data could not be easier,” added Duncan.

The software also provides an interface for PAT (process analytical tools) and performance can be further extended to increase the number of available pump channels with licence additions.

Launched in 2013, the E-Series has become a core resource in labs around the world with 350 installations globally and 270 peer review citations to date.
