OverviewAutomated, parallel materials library synthesis (e.g. MOFs, perovskites) and crystallization optimization (e.g. active ingredients) with integrated online benchtop XRD. Chemspeed’s FLEX ISYNTH is a modular, fully automated workstation enabling high-throughput exploration of reaction, reagent and materials space, supporting multistep synthesis workflows from reagent setup to storage.
Benefits- Fully automated workflow: reaction preparation, multistep synthesis, work-up, purification, analysis and transfer to storage for solids and liquids.
- Disposable high-precision glass reactor arrays for reaction scales from μL to mL; screwless, self-sealing design.
- Controlled mixing (up to ~1'700 rpm), heating (up to 150°C), cooling (-20°C), reflux, vacuum, inert atmosphere; supports evaporation, L/L extraction, filtration, SPE, crystallization and drying.
- Gravimetric solid handling (μg–g) and liquid handling (mg–g / μL–mL); chemistry-proven features such as pH control and heated needle extension.
- High parallel throughput (e.g. 24/48/96 reactions per run) with proprietary robotic tool exchange and automated sample handover.
- Integrated analytics: benchtop online NMR, HPLC (MS), UPLC (MS), GC (MS), UV‑VIS, NIR/MIR, DLS and integrated online benchtop XRD (e.g. Bruker D6 Phaser, Malvern Aeris) with sample handover and software/hardware integration.
- Ventilated hood for safe, conditioned operation.
- AUTOSUITE software for drag & drop experiment design; interfaces to LIMS/ELN, data analysis and AI/ML closed-loop workflows; ARKSUITE orchestration for lab-wide workflows.
Solution summaryFLEX ISYNTH unlocks broad chemical and materials spaces by enabling high-throughput, parallelized synthesis with integrated online benchtop XRD for closed-loop experimentation and data-driven optimization. The platform automates sampling and integrates multiple benchtop analytical instruments to accelerate materials discovery and crystallization screening.
