AUTOMATIC-ANALYSIS CONTROLLED BY DESK TOP COMPUTERS

Computer controlled equipments have the advantage to automize an analytical procedure. In most cases it is very important to know the sources of errors, because in automatic systems errors may have a higher influence on the result than in manual work. Furthermore, new methods of evaluation have to be used in automatic systems with digital data handling. The possibilities of controlling automatic systems by programmable desk top-computers will be given in the following analytical procedures: potentiometric titrations, coulometric titrations, quantitativ analysis by UV or IR-spectrometry, scanning TLC plates in reflectance or fluorimetric mode. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
