Abstract

An inexpensive homemade 3-axis autosampler was used to facilitate the automation of an acid catalysed flow chemical desilylation reaction. Harnessing open-source software technologies (Python, OpenCV), an automated computer-vision controlled liquid-liquid extraction step was used to provide effective inline purification. A Raspberry Pi single-board computer was employed to interface with the motors used in the autosampler and actuated fluidic valves.
