Customer testimonial

“… best solid dispensing technology…

… for virtually any solid…

We have taken a deep look at Chemspeed’s technology and we can say that we have never seen such a complete offering. I believe what Chemspeed is offering is the very best of what an integrator could expect.”

Chemspeed’s SWING KF deck modularity allows the user to execute and perform a variety of water content analysis workflows in a fully automated fashion.

Solid dispensing units for solids and powders

The Solid Dispensing Unit for solids and powders

The Gravimetric Dispensing Unit for solids and powders

The Gravimetric Dispensing Unit for (viscous) liquids.

The Gravimetric Dispensing Units(SDU, GDU-P and GDU-V models) are used to perform automated, gravimetrically controlled dispenses of a wide range of ingredients in the milligram to multigram scale. The modules pick the appropriate container, dispense the ingredients, and then place the container back to its station before picking the next one. All dispensing units include an overhead balance with a resolution of down to 0.1 mg, and allow dispensing and simultaneous weighing of ingredients into various vials, reactors, well-plates.

	Compound Type	Balance Readability	Dispensing Range	Dispensing Container Volume
The SDU	Solids and Powders	down to 0.1 mg, optional down to 0.01 mg with second balance	0.1 mg to 10 / 20 g	15 mL, 30 mL (smaller volumes upon request)
The GDU-P	Solids and Powders		0.1 mg to 100 g	100 mL
The GDU-V	Low to Medium Viscous Liquids		1 mPa.s to 15 Pa.s	Disposable positive displacement syringes from 100 μL to 12.5 mL

The Capping / Crimping / Gripping Device

The Capping / Crimping / Gripping Device is a tool for sealing crimp-neck vials with the corresponding caps,and for transporting the vials from one position to another. The decapping tool is used for opening the crimped vials during, or at the end of an application. The caps are stored in a tube on the tool and are automatically placed on the respective vial. This reservoir tube can be automatically refilled with caps during an application.

The MultiGripper and Barcode Reader

The MultiGripper is a tool for transporting vials and MTPs on Chemspeed platforms. A transport can be intended for one of the following reasons:

Weight determination on the balance rack.
Barcode reading.
Transportation to a rack with additional functionality (heating, agitation …).

Optional: integrated Barcode Reader. The Barcode Reader automatically identifies 1D and 2D barcodes on vials and MTPs.

MTP transporting

E.g. Metrohm titrator for volumetric Karl Fischer water determination

The samples and the standards are weighed out into 10 mL vials with the gravimetric dispensing units,capped and crimped to protect them against atmospheric moisture and then transported on the rack.Prior to titration the samples are dissolved in a known amount of KF working medium and the water content is then titrated in a second step.
