Pharmaceutical industry faces the increased demand for innovative medicines against various diseases. In this regard, the compound library in pharmaceutical industry is the most valuable asset. However, the compound distribution from the library into the screening plates is often still done manually and binds highly qualified resources to very time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone tasks.
The SWIP technology is the first fully automated true one-to-one gravimetric "pick & decision dispense" of honey-like compounds. The scheme at the bottom of this page displays the simplified SWIP workflow including a precision "pick & decision dispense" step. The technology backbone is following Chemspeed’s proprietary overhead gravimetric dispensing tool design.
In order to exclude any risk of cross-contamination disposable glass tips (SWIPs) are used which are stored and provided by a SWIP dispenser.
The SWIP are available in different sizes (diameter) and can be selected according to the desired target amount to be dispensed.
The intuitive and easy to use software supports the fully unattended production of screening assays from the pharmaceutical compound library.
SWILE : "pick & decision dispense" of solids in the range from <100 μg to 100 mg.
