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
Selected topics will have associated practical assignments that have to be solved in groups. Completion of all assignments is required to pass the course. The acquired knowledge from lecture and practical exercises will be tested through multiple choice tests. The final grade is the mean of all Multiple-Choice test results. Excellent performance on group assignments can improve the grade.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
At least 50% of the possible points in the multiple choice test, as well as a positive evaluation of all practical assignments.
Examination topics
Content of all lecture materials provided on Moodle.
Reading list
Supporting literature will be announced at the beginning of the course.
