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.

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.
