GLAS: An open-source easily expandable Git-based Scheduling Architecture for Integral Lab Automation

December 24, 2024

ChemRxiv

This paper presents GLAS (Git-based Lab Automated Scheduler or Get Lab Automation Simplified), an open-source, robust, and highly expandable Git-based architecture designed for laboratory automation. GLAS can be deployed in both partially and fully automated experimental science laboratories, enabling the development of a multi-layer scheduling system while maintaining a systematic architecture grounded in a Git repository. We demonstrate the effectiveness of GLAS through case studies from the Swiss Cat+ automated chemistry laboratory, showcasing its versatility and potential for widespread applicability in various laboratory automation contexts. By offering an open-source scheduling environment, our aim is to foster the development of accessible and adaptable laboratory automation solutions within the scientific community.

Closed-Loop Bayesian Optimization for the Synthesis of Amine-Grafted Resins for Direct Air Capture

Direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 remains limited by adsorbent performance. Adsorption kinetics are a particularly underexplored lever to improve adsorbents, despite their significance in realistic processes. Today, the profile of 'the' optimal DAC adsorbent displaying high CO2 uptake and selectivity as well as fast sorption kinetics remains unknown.
