We are very eager to communicate on our progress toward the implementation of an automated flow platform. This adventure started ca 12 months ago and our efforts converged into a modular flow platform. Version 1.0 features automated valves, a thermoregulated flow reactor (adaptable for photochemistry) and a fraction collector. 
The entire setup is orchestrated through LabVIEW. We are in the process of developing pumps to complement the setup. More to come soon.
