Customer Feedback on CRYSTAL POWDERDOSE
During a visit to Chemspeed Technologies on May 26th, Merck KGaA shared:

"Their ROI with the CRYSTAL POWDERDOSE was in 4 months. They said that everyone loves the CRYSTAL."

Striving for efficiency within chemical development, lab automation is unequivocally on the run. With a plethora of technology available off the shelves, holistic platforms that automate full workstreams have been a target of the industry. However, their implementation is conducted hesitatively, as large capital expenditures and customizing/training efforts are frequently required. The present work addresses this issue by introducing a simple software solution to facilitate catalysis screenings and ease the bottleneck of solid dispensing. Working with a fully integrated benchtop dispensing robot, the platform becomes inexpensive and easy to handle. All resources to rebuild the platform are provided along with the Supporting Information, enabling the readership to implement the approach in their facilities.

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.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins with transition metal-based catalysts: practical insights from screening to production of APIs

Selective hydrogenation plays a critical role in modern synthetic chemistry, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, where the production of chiral molecules with high enantiomeric purity is essential for the efficacy and safety of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
