Lab Experiment Toolbox

The second set-up concept from Microinnova, the Lab Experiment Toolbox , has some minor differences from the first concept. It was designed to speed up process development and reduce the time to market of chemicals or compounding products (Figure 4.25) [77]. A modular toolbox has been developed for laboratory-scale experiments. Small tube connections are used to connect various unit operation devices to each other. Process control and user interface are based on Fieldpoint and LabView or Microinnova Process Control. The integration of the sensors into the system is different to the previous concept. The Fieldpoint unit has a front panel, where sensors can be added on a plug-and-play basis. All experimental data are stored in spreadsheets, which can be transferred to common spreadsheet...
