Catalyst Industry Applications - Chemical Catalysis Research and Laboratory Automation Solutions

Accelerating your existing workflow

In catalysis R&D acceleration, standardization and digititalization are pivotal for the development of ecologic and economic processes of e.g. chemicals, polymers, polyolefins, rubbers.

Chemspeed provides high throughput and high output solutions which accelerate, standardize and digitalize your R&D without compromise in areas such as:

  • Versatile gravimetric solid dispensing and liquid dispensing from microg-to-mg-to-g for sample, synthesis, formulation preparation
  • Inorganic catalyst development for e.g. hydrogenation, alkylation, isomerization, oxidation, cracking catalysts by e.g. incipient wetness / excessive liquid impregnation, precipitation, sol-gel, porous materials such as MOF and zeolite synthesis
  • Organic and organometallic catalyst synthesis, screening and optimization / scale-up
  • Catalyst testing / optimization in batch, semi-continuous, and / or continuous mode
  • AI supported knowledge evolution


Highly innovative technologies allow mimicking virtually any workflow in a fully automated way. This saves precious time and increases output and quality of your lab dramatically, by using concepts designed for chemists by chemists.

High-throughput solid microsampling through stochastic robotic automation

Solid sampling at the sub-milligram and milligram scale remains a major bottleneck for high-throughput chemistry or material sciences, as existing approaches rely on manual handling or slow deterministic microsampling that do not readily scale. Here we present STORMS, an automated STOchastic Robotic MicroSampling system that enables fast, reliable and parallel sampling of solid materials at sub-milligram and milligram masses.
