Automatic Control Laboratory Installed at Washington University

The First 110 Years of Laboratory Automation: Technologies, Applications, and the Creative Scientist

“…In response to this demand, the chemical engineering department at Washington University incorporated experiments where students learned the operating characteristics of temperature-controlled equipment. 42 In the 1950s, the number of new devices that used siphons, floats, and reservoirs that drip dropped off dramatically. What examples that do appear in the literature were being used to control fraction collectors for chromatography or distillation.…”
