Remote laboratory control system for portable biosensors

Abstract

In this work, a remote control system for real-time monitoring of a potentiostat was designed and implemented by combining an embedded system and a web service, called PAWL. This allows the management and manipulation of potentiostat data from any location with Internet access, and offers bidirectional communication with the device. The results obtained indicate that PAWL allows connecting and measuring two or more devices simultaneously, and it is also able to guarantee the efficient sending and receiving of data between the potentiostat and the web service, without the installation of specialized applications or software. All this provides a new form of remote control of potentiostats in a laboratory and offers an alternative for monitoring and control of equipment and devices used in a laboratory.
