## Description

We are currently fabricating a bespoke chemical reactor system through an extramural collaboration with the University of Cambridge\. To mitigate potential integration challenges, and minimize further project delays, the decision was made to repurpose existing equipment whenever feasible\. In line with this approach, additional pressure control equipment would be required to be Bronkhorst to maintain compatibility with the existing mass flow and pumping systems\. Bronkhorst employs a proprietary communication protocol previously developed in-house drivers and has the necessary knowledge base and experience to incorporate them into new systems\. This approach will help to reduce costs by maintaining compatibility with existing equipment while also de-risking our project, \.
