Reactor control software for jacketed laboratory reactors
AVA Software is an automation platform designed jacketed laboratory reactors. It enables users to automate reactor control without subscription fees while connecting laboratory equipment into a single, easy-to-use system.
Users can choose between:
- AVA Pad All-in-one reactor controller with an integrated touchscreen that operates without a separate pc
- AVA PC Reaction Control Software: software for controlling compatible laboratory equipment from a connected computer
Both solutions are designed to simplify reactor operation while improving process control, safety, precision and reproducibility.
AVA integrates with jacketed lab reactors as well as compatible circulators, stirrers, pumps and sensors, allowing multiple devices to be controlled from a single platform.
Simple workflow
AVA is designed for straightforward setup and operation. The typical workflow consists of six steps:
- Select the preferred AVA platform
- Connect compatible laboratory devices
- Configure the reactor system
- Control the reactor and connected equipment
- Record and manage process data
- Share experimental results
Automation for safer and more reproducible chemistry
By automating reactor operation and data collection, AVA helps reduce manual intervention while supporting consistent experimental conditions. Automatic data logging eliminates the need for manual data entry, while integrated safety features and alarm functions enable safe unattended operation around the clock.
The intuitive user interface requires minimal training, allowing users to configure and operate experiments quickly.
