Robotized synthesis platform SWING LIQUID GAS RP

high-throughput

Overview
Rubber synthesis screening in disposable glass bottles is typically a manual, error-prone process involving hazardous chemicals such as butadiene, isoprene, solvents and metalorganics. SWING LIQUID GAS RP provides fully unattended, automated reaction preparation for polymerization screening using liquefied monomers, eliminating manual handling of hazardous reagents and improving experimental consistency and safety.

Workflow
SWING LIQUID GAS RP

• Volumetric dispensing of solvent
