OverviewThe FLEX SWILE system provides fully automated matrix-to-matrix gravimetric pick & decision dispensing of solid compounds (mother-to-daughter) using Chemspeed's proprietary overhead gravimetric tool design combined with an on-deck analytical balance. Disposable glass tips (SWINS) eliminate cross-contamination risk. Tip diameters are available in multiple sizes and can be selected to target the required dispensed mass. A tilt/shake rack conditions powders prior to pick-up for reliable handling.
Key features- True decision-based gravimetric dispensing for high accuracy and precision
- Dispensing range: hundreds of μg to ~5 mg with approx. ±10 μg resolution
- Disposable glass tips (SWINS) — no cross-contamination
- No dead volume
- Unattended automated operation
- Fully inert tip material (glass)
Workflow (FLEX SWILE)- Scan barcode of source compound/sample vial
- Transport source vial to tilt/shake rack
- Loosen and tilt or shake powder to facilitate pickup
- Gravimetric pick and decision dispense into tubes, vials or plates (mother-to-daughter)
Benefits- Proprietary robotic tool-exchange interface for fast switching
- Ventilated hood for safe, conditioned operation; mobile trolley available
- Optimized small footprint (~90 x 90 cm) while maintaining capacity
- SWILE tool combinable with other robotic tools for multi-step workflows
- On-deck balance, tilt/shake rack, barcode reader and multigripper integrated in workflow
- Exchangeable tools to accommodate diverse workflows
- AUTOSUITE software for drag-&-drop experiment design and data integration
