Customer testimonial

“This automated platform accelerates the research process – we can work 20 times faster than before.
And we do not only test our formulations faster, but also more precisely.”

Chemspeed’s SWING WAXDOSE deck modularity allows the user to execute and perform a variety of highly viscous liquid and wax dispensing workflows in a fully automated fashion.

The Gravimetric Dispensing Unit (GDU-HV model) with heating option is used to perform automated, gravimetically controlled dispenses and aspiration of molten wax in the milligram to multigram scale. The module picks the appropriate heated container, dispenses the wax, and then places the container back to its station before picking the next one. The dispensing unit includes an overhead balance, and allows dispensing and simultaneous weighing of wax into various vials, reactors and well-plates.

	Compound Type	Balance Readability	Dispensing Range and Viscosity Range without Heating	Viscosity Range with Heating	Dispensing Container Volume
The GDU-HV	Highly Viscous Liquids and Waxes Heated storage and transfer = 20℃ to 90℃	down to 10 µg, optionally down to 100 µg with second on-deck balance	100 µg to 100 mg 1 mPa.s to 500’000 mPa.s	Up to waxes or substances with melt-viscosity of	65 ml

Automated Heated Transfer and Dispensing of Viscous Liquids and Waxes

Overhead gravimetric dispensing of waxes into vials while maintaining the temperature of the substance throughout the entire transfer

The Heatable cartridge for waxes (up to 90 oC up to 500 Pa.s)

Exemplary dispensing time: 1g in 20 sec (depending on wax properties).
Wax dispensing capacity: (expandable with additional wax storage module).
- SWING: up to 65 cartridges for the GDU-HV.
- SWING XL: up to 125 cartridges for the GDU-HV.
Reduced dispensing time: the balance moves from one target to the next, continuously dispensing and weighing without having to move the target to the balance. The anti-drip system avoids cross contamination and enables the addition of wax or any other material into any formulation vessel, reactor, vial etc. on the platform deck, while mixing, heating, cooling etc.
The GDU-HV heated cartridge inserts are disposable. The plunger and the actual heated jacket are non disposable and can be reused.
One dispensing design and one AutoTeaching tool to cover all your heated and waxes materials. The sophisticated algorithm of the software automatically finds the best conditions to dispense your ingredient.
Automatic exchange of a dispensing cartridge. If one is empty, the system automatically takes the next container.

Multiple dispensing configurations: one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many

The MultiGripper and Barcode Reader

The MultiGripper is a tool for transporting vials and MTPs on Chemspeed platforms. A transport may 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 …).

MTP transporting
