This video is a sales presentation for "The Robot Chemist," an automated laboratory system manufactured by Warner-Chilcott Laboratories Instruments Division. This system mixes, measures, and tests chemical agents using five different modules and a spectrophotometer. This video includes a demonstration of how to calibrate and engage each of these modules so that both a control and the test material can have their light signatures compared to one another and printed out on a small printer.
