New algorithm for non-flowable powders

April 7, 2012

Chemspeed broadens the field of application of its solid dispensing technology with a new algorithm for non-flowable powders. Chemspeed Technologies, the leader in overhead gravimetric dispensing has improved the dispensing algorithm for non-flowable powders of its Gravimetric Dispensing Unit for Powders (GDU-P). Chemspeed’s unique and patented solution for overhead gravimetric dispensing of solids, liquids, viscous or waxy materials is the only solution capable of dispensing material into reactors or vials while they are being stirred and heated / cooled. With the new algorithm, the GDU-P, is now able to dispense an even wider range of materials. It can now deal with “non-flowable” powders that were previously impossible to dispense reliably with an automated system. Customer feedback has been enthusiastic: “No other automated dispensing system could achieve the same high accuracy and precision”. Chemspeed’s customers that have maintenance contracts and the GDU-P on their platform will automatically receive the new improved algorithm with the next software release. If you have powder dispensing challenges and would like to discuss them with our workflow architects, please contact us.

Stable acidic oxygen-evolving catalyst discovery through mixed accelerations

Ruthenium oxides (RuOx) are promising alternatives to iridium catalysts for the oxygen-evolution reaction in proton-exchange membrane water electrolysis but lack stability in acid. Alloying with other elements can improve stability and performance but enlarges the search space.

Experimental and kinetic study of the microwave-assisted catalytic conversion of glucose

Microwave technology offers rapid, selective, and efficient heating, making it a valuable tool for process intensification. In this context, this study employed microwave energy for rapid reaction optimization and reliable kinetic analysis for the catalytic conversion of glucose. Dehydration (DeH) and retro-aldol condensation (RAC) are two main routes for the catalytic conversion of glucose into valuable platform chemicals such as levulinic acid, methyl lactate, and other byproducts.

Toward fully autonomous closed-loop molecular discovery – A case study on JAK targets

Bridging AI and self-driving laboratories, we introduce the first fully-automated, closed-loop molecular discovery cycle, exemplified by the identification of novel JAK inhibitors. With minimal human intervention, we combined AI-driven molecular design and retrosynthesis with IBM’s synthesis automation system RoboRXN and Arctoris’ Ulysses platform for automated in-vitro screening.
