Is a robot coming for your job?

March 2, 2022

The rise of automation in the chemistry lab 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, automated chemistry has moved up the priority list for many companies, says Paul Whittles, sales director at Deepmatter, a Glasgow, UK, based company developing tools for automated chemistry. The current situation means many companies are working at 25% lab capacity, but with completely automated synthesis, chemists sitting at home could program a robot to keep the lab working. ‘It’s something which people have been dreaming about for quite a while, but at the moment the idea is being taken more and more seriously by more and more people,’ says Whittles.

Identifying critical powder properties for high-throughput dispensing of alumina and organic templates

Screening powder properties such as flowability, compressibility, and particle geometry is crucial for controlling ceramic processing, particularly in automated workflows that demand high reproducibility. Sacrificial templating for porous ceramics is well suited to automation because it is prone to variability arising from manual handling.

Integration of Machine Learning and Automated Synthesis for Accelerated Drug and Material Research

The challenges posed by global climate change and disease risks have intensified the demand for efficient and practical materials and molecules. Traditional trial-and-error approaches are becoming increasingly inefficient and resource-intensive. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new avenues to accelerate research and shorten development cycles.
