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.

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.
