Reaction Monitoring Overview

This chapter gives a short introduction to the reaction monitor module. The reaction monitoring module is a powerful tool to aid the user in performing reaction monitoring, trend analysis and process analysis with spectroscopic data. The main features of the reaction monitor module are listed below:

• Online processing
  Monitor live reactions with an attached spectrometer. Multiple reaction phases with different spectrometer settings may be configured. A file system folder may be monitored as alternative data input option enabling the use of unsupported spectrometers as spectroscopic data providers.

• Offline processing
  Perform reaction analysis on spectra that have been recorded earlier. Rerun previously recorded reaction analyses with different parameters.

• Routine mode
  Simple user interface to select reaction runs for the everyday routine analysis. The main application interface will be hidden.

• Reaction window
  Configurable user interface for reaction monitoring which includes 2D-view, 3D-view, Trend view, Data/Table view and full access to all relevant parameters. Please refer to the chapter Reaction Window for a detailed description.

• Reaction wizard
  The reaction wizard guides the user when setting up a new reaction. Simple step by step configuration allows the quick creation of new reaction templates. Please refer to the chapter Reaction Wizard for a detailed description.
