The AFRICA software automatically detects which modules are connected.  The user can select a predefined task or create a new one with a drag and drop interface.  Only "chemist familiar" terms, e.g. concentration, equivalents, volume and time need to be entered rather than flow rates. 

Each experiment is run automatically by the software and data is logged.  When using the HPLC modules, a sample of each reaction is automatically taken, diluted and injected onto the HPLC fopr analysis.

When the experiment has completed, reports and graphs can be printed and data exported to .csv files. When using the AFRICA HPLC modules, the chromatograms can be displayed, intergrated and tabulated

Using the AFRICA software

Step 1: Use a drag and drop interface to design a flow reaction

Step 2: Enter

• Reagents
• Solvents
• Molar concentrations

Step 3: Enter

• Stoichiometry
• Reaction time
• Temperature
• Desired quantity
• HPLC sampling data
  Software automatically calculates flow rates and system timing.

Step 4: Run reaction and collect product and data

Step 5: Analyse data
