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.

Autonomous Synthesis and Inverse Design of Electrochromic Polymers with High Efficiency and Accuracy

The design and synthesis of functional polymers, aimed at targeted properties through specific structures, have long been challenged by their complex and often nonlinear structure− property relationships. Key processes, including knowledge accumulation for predictive design and experimental refinement and validation, are traditionally labor-insensitive and timeconsuming, making it difficult to balance accuracy and efficiency.

Localization, inspection, and reasoning (LIRA) module for autonomous workflows in self-driving laboratories

Self-driving labs (SDLs) combine robotic automation with artificial intelligence (AI) to allow autonomous, high-throughput experimentation. However, robot manipulation in most SDL workflows operates in an open-loop manner, lacking real-time error detection and error correction. This can reduce reliability and overall efficiency.

An Automation Platform for the Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Complex Sulfated and Branched Glycans

Diverse collections of well-defined glycans are needed to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which these biomolecules mediate biological and disease processes. Several automation approaches have been introduced to accelerate the enzymatic synthesis of complex glycans. These methodologies have, however, provided only relatively simple oligosaccharides due to limitations of glycosyl transferase selectivity.
