OverviewHigh-throughput microwave-assisted library synthesis (small molecules, polymers, porous materials, cathode materials) combined with Chemspeed’s exchangeable robotic tools for gravimetric liquid handling, gravimetric solid dispensing, capping, de-capping, crimping and gripping, integrated with microwave technology for automated parallel reaction execution and sample processing.
SummaryAutomated microwave-assisted synthesis and integrated sample treatment. Complete, configurable workflow enabling reaction setup, microwave synthesis, multistep synthesis, work-up and analysis for high-throughput screening and library generation.
Workflow (example steps)- Gravimetric dispensing (solid)
- Volumetric dispensing (liquid)
- Capping and crimping / de-capping
- Transfer to microwave synthesizer
- Microwave irradiation
- Addition of reagents for further steps / multistep synthesis
- Work-up: SPE, filtration, evaporation, L/L extraction, crystallization, drying, online/offline analysis
