By combining automatic environment sensing and experimental data collection with broker based messaging middleware, a system has been produced for the real-time monitoring of experiments whilst away from the lab.

Changes in the laboratory environment are encapsultated as simple messages, which are published using an MQTT compliant broker. Clients subscribe to the MQTT stream, and perform a data transform on the messages; this may be to produce a user display or to change the format of the message for republishing.

For example, anMQTT client written for the Java MIDP platform can be run on a smart-phone with a GPRS Internet connection, freeing us from the constraints of the network. We present an overview of the technologies used, and how these are helping chemists make the best use of their time.
