Overview

Code for setting up a fully automonous process in flow for the production on Quantum Dots of different sizes. Our equipment includes:

• Milligat pumps
• Chemyx pumps
• Thermocontroller (Eurotherm)
• Ocean optics UV-Vis spectrometers

Installation

1. Install python (version 3 or above)
2. Create a conda environment

conda create --name qd_lab
conda activate qd_lab

3. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/katerinavr/quantum_dots_lab.git
4. Install the libraries pip install -r requirements.txt

Unit tests

python -m pytest

Examples

Setting the Milligat pump:

from qd_lab.pumps import milligat

pump_c = milligat.Milligat('C', serial.Serial('COM8', 9600))
pump_c.set_flow_rate(0.5) # pump rates in mL/min
pump_c.stop_pump()

Measure Residense Time distribution (RTD):

python qd_lab/uv_vis/measure_rtd.py

Running an experiment using the current settings:

python qd_lab/lab.py config.json
