Surroundings: For a continuous multi-column chromatographic process, a university needed an experimental plant.

Aim: To control the experimental plant with a course of event protocol, together with data acquisition and data analysis. A speciality is the embedded Matlab control algorithm, that can be adapted online.

Our contribution: Software concept and development.
