Flamac Responded to Customer Needs for Accelerated Development of Complex Formulations with Chemspeed’s Modular SWING Robotic Platforms in Conjunction with its Gravimetric Dispensing of Highly Viscous Materials

July 10, 2013

“Flamac’s unique, integrated high-throughput formulation platform results in a remarkable level of modularity and flexibility when compared to standalone modules”, says Johan Paul, general manager of Flamac. “Initially this integrated high-throughput formulation platform will be primarily used for our strategic collaboration with P&G.However, the platform is open to all of our customers and research partners.” “Innovation via collaboration is at the heart of how we touch and improves lives of our consumers. The Connect + Develop capability with Flamac is a strategic collaboration with our Brussels Innovation Center. The excellent technical work of the joint team and collaboration with IWT enabled the rapid progress”, John Metselaar, Brussels Innovation R&D Site leader. “We are proud to be part of Flamac’s high-throughput platform and to contribute to strategic collaborations such as with P&G with our flexible and modular robotic solutions. Chemspeed’s proprietary and innovation enabling overhead gravimetric dispensing of solids, liquids, viscous liquids, and waxes while processing is pivotal for virtually unrestricted formulation strategies, thus standardizing and accelerating the investigation of both the raw material and the process space.”, says Michael Schneider, Sr VP Business Development, Chemspeed Technologies AG.

Complementary and Spatially Resolved Operando Spectroscopic Investigation of Pt/Al₂O₃ and Pt/CeO₂ Catalysts during CO/NO Conversion

The composition of reaction mixtures strongly influences the structural evolution and performance of noble metal-based catalysts. In this work, we compared the effect of the simultaneous presence of CO and NO on the noble metal state and CO oxidation activity of Pt/Al2O3 and Pt/CeO2 catalysts under close-to-stoichiometric conditions using complementary in situ/operando X-ray and infrared spectroscopic techniques.

Influence of the CeO₂ Morphology and Initial Pd–Pt Interaction Degree on Catalyst Activity and Stability

Due to its peculiar properties and strong interaction with noble metals, ceria is widely used as a catalyst support for numerous applications. In this work, morphologically pure and highly crystalline ceria nanocubes and nanorods were prepared to systematically investigate both the impact of the support morphology and Pd–Pt interaction degree on the noble metal-support interplay during CO oxidation.

High-throughput RAFT Polymerization via Automated Batch, Increment, and Continuous Flow Platforms

We report an automated strategy to conduct RAFT copolymerizations using a Chemspeed robotic platform capable of executing batch, incremental, and continuous monomer addition workflows under inert conditions. Copolymerizations of oligo(ethylene glycol) acrylate with benzyl acrylate (as a control) and fluorescein o-acrylate were conducted in toluene, THF, and DMF, with reaction progress monitored via ¹H NMR spectroscopy at defined intervals.
