High Throughput Reaction Screening with Nanomoles of Solid Reagents Coated on Glass Beads

May 1, 2019

Angewandte Chemie Journal

Technologies that enable rapid screening of diverse reaction conditions are of critical importance to methodology development and reaction optimization especially when molecules of high complexity and scarcity are involved. The lack of a general solid dispensing method for chemical reagents on micro- and nanomole scale prevents the full utilization of reaction screening technologies. We herein report the development of a technology in which glass beads coated with solid chemical reagents (ChemBeads) enable the delivery of nanomole quantities of solid chemical reagents efficiently. By exploring the concept of preferred screening sets, the flexibility and generality of this technology for high throughput reaction screening was validated.

An Automation Platform for the Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Complex Sulfated and Branched Glycans

Diverse collections of well-defined glycans are needed to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which these biomolecules mediate biological and disease processes. Several automation approaches have been introduced to accelerate the enzymatic synthesis of complex glycans. These methodologies have, however, provided only relatively simple oligosaccharides due to limitations of glycosyl transferase selectivity.

Accelerating Porosity Assessment in Solid Materials via SemiAutomated Platforms

The design and discovery of porous materials have become a central theme in materials science, driven by their applications in gas storage, separation, carbon capture, and catalysis. Rapid advances in synthetic chemistry, particularly in metal–organic frameworks, porous organic cages, and conjugated microporous polymers, have enabled the generation of increasingly large and diverse material libraries.

Implementation of Large-Scale Multi-Reactor Automation for Process Development

Pharmaceuticals increasing complexity requires longer synthesis with unique processes for each step, increasing the number of experiments to develop robust sustainable processes. The time to develop these processes is getting shorter, and automation can support the growing need to efficiently perform more experiments.
