Data management of microscale reaction calorimeter using a modular open-source IoT platform
In this 2023 article published in the journal Processes, Frede et al. of TU Dortmund University work with analytical consultancy d-fine GmbH to demonstrate experimental workflows of a microscale reaction calorimeter over d-fine's open-source internet of things (IoT) software platform. Their goal: provide an example of how data collection and capture methods can and should be standardized across an automated laboratory. After a brief introduction, the authors present their materials and methods, along with a case study of hydrolysis of acetic anhydride. After presenting the results of their case study, they conclude that "[t]he modular data platform complements the reaction calorimeter very well with additional functionalities," and by adding even more instruments, "[t]his approach will further harmonize data management within our laboratory while better applying FAIR Guiding Principles."
