Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

IMPORTANT: Programming is an important aspect of today's lab automation. It is required to take the class "VU Computational Data Processing" before this class, or to have sufficient background in Python (reading files, printing, for loops, etc.).

The lecture units give an extensive overview of the various automation methods for the chemical laboratory. Among them are microtiter plates, micro fluidics, continuous flow chemistry, lab on a chip, automated organic synthesis, specialized reaction ware, robotics, as well as self-driving labs. The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques will be discussed.

The accompanying practical unit will be a combination of theoretical approaches to solve optimization processes and research presentations on current developments within the field of chemical automation. Students learn about the principles of (I)LP and use the Python library *pulp* for solving the derived optimization problems.

Assessment and permitted materials

The final grade will be composed of three equal parts, with Homework submissions, Lab protocol/presentation, and the Final MC Test each contributing 33.33% to the final score.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

At least 50% of the possible points must be obtained through multiple-choice tests and assignments. Additionally, a lab protocol must be submitted.

Examination topics

Content of all lecture materials provided on Moodle.

Reading list

Supporting literature will be announced at the beginning of the course.
