Solid Dispensing Technologies for Microscale & Nanoscale Reaction Screening

October 3, 2023

The Power of High-Throughput Experimentation: General Topics and Enabling Technologies for Synthesis and Catalysis (Volume 1)

The ability to rapidly examine diverse reaction conditions in parallel at micromole or nanomole scales without depleting precious starting materials is of critical importance to methodological development and reaction optimization. Assembling a comprehensive screening set requires the distribution of substantial number of solid reagents with diverse physical properties in small quantities. Automated sub-milligram solid dispensing has long been a challenge with no practical and reliable solutions. The lack of a general solid dispensing method for chemical reagents on micro-and nanomole scales prevents the full utilization of reaction screening technologies. This chapter aims to provide updated information on recent developments in solid handling technology and their applications in small-scale powder dispensing.

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.
