A New Approach to Research Data Management with a Focus on Traceability: Adacta

Traceability between samples, devices and data is of great importance to the catalysis community. Adacta is a new research data management (RDM) system designed to create a traceable digital twin of a testing environment, not only storing data, but also creating a readily retrievable time-accurate record of the critical components used to measure catalyst performance. Future developments include extending Adacta to interact with electronic laboratory notebooks and to spawn simulations directly using data and measurements stored in the database.
