“The Italian Group Natura has selected Chemspeed Technologies in order to allow precise and repeatable dispensing of soil with different origins. The overarching goal of this project is to accelerate soil contamination analysis and convert it into a precise, reliable process. This will provide the company with light-speed response to customer requests.”

High-throughput methods represent a very promising approach for the acceleration of soil contamination analysis. With increasingly stringent regulations, enhanced environmental consciousness, different soil origins and characteristics, and a vast number of analyses to perform, the FLEX POWDERDOSE provides the perfect solution to quickly and flexibly dispense any soil type in different container formats (cuvettes, vials, bottles, reactors, etc.) and provide immediate answers to demanding customers. A large number of samples can be prepared in one batch to be used for several contamination analyses: elution, mineralization, extraction and much more.

For Natura, “FLEX POWDERDOSE is an ideal tool in the preparation of powder samples as it allows the researchers to run 12 to 192 (or more) soil analysis experiments in 8 hours. This means automated dispensing of solids into ‘ready to use’ samples for testing or further sample preparation steps. The experimental results are then used to classify each soil type and provide a clear picture of current situation and possible remedies – an approach that the scientists at Natura have developed.”

Artificial intelligence-driven autonomous laboratory for accelerating chemical discovery

Autonomous laboratories, also known as self-driving labs, have emerged as a powerful strategy to accelerate chemical discovery. By highly integrating different key parts including artificial intelligence (AI), robotic experimentation systems and automation technologies into a continuous closed-loop cycle, autonomous laboratories can efficiently conduct scientific experiments with minimal human intervention.

Stable acidic oxygen-evolving catalyst discovery through mixed accelerations

Ruthenium oxides (RuOx) are promising alternatives to iridium catalysts for the oxygen-evolution reaction in proton-exchange membrane water electrolysis but lack stability in acid. Alloying with other elements can improve stability and performance but enlarges the search space.
