• Overhead gravimetric and volumetric dispensing/dosing and aspiration of (viscous) liquids with disposable positive displacement tips

• 4-Chanel liquid handling of low-viscous substance

• Screw capping/ decapping

• Automated capping, de-capping, crimping and vial transfer

• Multigripper

• Barcode scanning
• Decapping
• Analytical tools such as pH-probes or interfaces to GC/ LC (available on request)

AutoSuite SWING  is an intuitive user interface software which allows easy workflow orientated programming. Many features such as the gravimetric dispensing steps are automatically calibrated, eliminating tedious optimisation steps.

• The AutoTeaching tool allows dispensing of powders, liquids, viscous liquids, and waxes without manual optimization steps, and with high precision, accuracy and speed
• Easy programming: drag-and-drop workflow steps
• Barcode tracking
• Smooth integration into Chemspeed’s workflow management software
• AutoSuite Application Programming Interface (API): for 3rd party sofware and hardware integration, and standard integration of Spotfire, JMP, VirtualLab etc.

SpotFire (data visualization and selection)

JMP (design of experiments - DoE)

VirtualLab (lab journal, workflow management, instrument control)

and many other laboratory software through industry standard languages (SQL, .net, C#, etc)
