The leading technology in overhead gravimetric dispensing / dosing (patented) combined with our reactor and process excellence, and our user-friendly software, allow you to accelerate, standardize and digitalize your (mixed) oxide synthesis workflows (precipitation, sol-gel, ion exchange).

• Decrease in cost per experiment up to 90+ %.
• Increase in productivity by a factor of 10+.
• Up to 36 experiments per run on an AUTOPLANT, up to 6 experiments per
  run on a MULTIPLANT.
• Independent control of all process parameters in each reactor with PAT like
  PSD, pH.
• Independent and precise temperature and stirring control in each reactor.
• Up to 8 independent liquid feeds per reactor.
• pH measurement and control (e.g. swingin pH control via acid and base).
• Vessel-to-vessel transfer for multistep processes.
• Gravimetric solid and viscous liquid dispensing.
• 4-Needle Head for volumetric liquid handling and sampling.
• Feeding and sampling under reaction conditions.
• Cleaning in place (e.g. automated cleaning, inserts).
• Dispensed amount, stirrer speed, temperature, pressure, time..., and other
  data are stored in a read only log file.
• Easy access to data with a convenient interface to pull results into Excel or
  virtually any other software.
• Interface to DOE.

Chemspeed’s MULTIPLANT / AUTOPLANT deck modularity allows the user to execute and perform a variety of workflows in a fully or semi-automated fashion.

New or better, high-quality (mixed) oxides require accurate control of many reaction parameters, therefore automated workflow solutions are key to accelerate their development.

Reaction preparation

• Interface to DOE. Gravimetric overhead dispensing of solids powders, and extrudates directly into the reactor.
