Abstract
The use of a programmable continuous flow apparatus for the intelligent control of experiments is described. The system allows the versatile manipulation of a variety of pumps and valves, and the monitoring of several types of detectors. This permits a wide range of experiments involving solution operations to be carried out. The continuous flow approach to automation of experiments is compared to more conventional laboratory robotics. Application to the automated optimization and response surface modeling of a flow injection method for the determination of palladium is described. Modes of operation of the system (gradient vs. steady-state) are discussed and the limitations of the current apparatus are noted. The potential of the continuous flow approach to robotics is evaluated.
