“…High-end professional spectrometers are designed to meet the needs of a broad section of users. However, scientific research often requires one to customize the setup to meet one’s specific experimental needs, for example, to trigger a spectrometer to begin automatic data acquisition or to export data from the spectrometer via analog interface for immediate data treatment. ,,,, One can also automate the process of sampling and MS analysis and monitor the experimental conditions over the Internet . Perhaps it is the improvisation of commercial instruments that sometimes leads to technological breakthroughs.…”

With the rapid development of high technology, chemical science is not as it used to be a century ago. Many chemists acquire and utilize skills that are well beyond the traditional definition of chemistry. The digital age has transformed chemistry laboratories. One aspect of this transformation is the progressing implementation of electronics and computer science in chemistry research. In the past decade, numerous chemistry-oriented studies have benefited from the implementation of electronic modules, including microcontroller boards (MCBs), single-board computers (SBCs), professional grade control and data acquisition systems, as well as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In particular, MCBs and SBCs provide good value for money. The application areas for electronic modules in chemistry research include construction of simple detection systems based on spectrophotometry and spectrofluorometry principles, customizing laboratory devices for automation of common laboratory practices, control of reaction systems (batch- and flow-based), extraction systems, chromatographic and electrophoretic systems, microfluidic systems (classical and nonclassical), custom-built polymerase chain reaction devices, gas-phase analyte detection systems, chemical robots and drones, construction of FPGA-based imaging systems, and the Internet-of-Chemical-Things. The technology is easy to handle, and many chemists have managed to train themselves in its implementation. The only major obstacle in its implementation is probably one’s imagination.

“…Multiple low-cost ADC boards coupled to an Arduino Nano have been compared for use as DAQs for CE-C4D (Figure 6), with higher resolution boards connected to the microcontrollers providing better signal recording than the internal microcontroller ADC function [118]. To build upon standard data logging functionality, a Raspberry Pi-based hardware/software interface combined DAQ functionality with signal filtering and the calculation of chromatographic figures of merit for an LC separation, with results of the calculations comparable to instrument manufacturer software [119]. The processing of file types generated by commercial software packages has also been achieved using the open-source Appia program that can be operated on a Raspberry Pi [120].…”

Electronic system control of analytical instrumentation remains a critical aspect of modern measurement science. Within the field of liquid chromatography (LC), this is especially relevant for automation, module operation, detection, data acquisition, and data analysis. Increasingly, home‐built analytical tools used for liquid‐phase separations rely upon open‐source microcontrollers and single‐board computers to aid in simplifying these operations. In this review, we detail literature reported within the past 5 years in which these types of devices were used to advance various aspects of the LC research field, including sample preparation, instrument control, and data collection.

“…Although significant challenges to generating an ideal stationary phase support structure for analytical separations in a reasonable time and for a reasonable cost still exist, there are many opportunities for new manufacturing strategies to play a role in the future of chromatographic separations (47,142). Instrument design related to system control and data acquisition may utilize microcontrollers and single-board computers, technology that is often used to control 3D printers, to achieve reduced cost and size in portable instrumentation (143)(144)(145).…”

To address the quest for greater separation power, the chromatographic community developed comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LCxLC). But even with LCxLC, it can still be challenging to analyze highly complex samples and obtain accurate and correct information. In this article, opportunities for optimizing methods for extracting maximum information from one-dimensional (1D)-LC and two-dimensional (2D)-LC chromatographic data are explained.
