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, well-plates.

SWING dimensions: 
1’480 x 910 x 1’860 mm 
(4’ 4 3/8” x 3’ x 6’ 1 1/4”) 

SWING XL dimensions:
2’350 x 950 x 1’920 mm 
(7’ 70” x 3’ 2” x 6’ 4”)

• 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 addition of wax or any other material into any formulation vessel, reactor, vial etc on the platform deck whilemixing, 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 finds automatically the best conditions to dispense your ingredient.
• Automatic exchange of a dispensing cartridge if one is empty, the system automatically takes the next container.
• 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.

• Individual platform configuration tailored to your workflow with market-proven offthe-shelf components.
• Robotic platforms which can be easily integrated into other systems to enable multi-workflow processes (e.g. Formulation, Application and Testing procedures all integrated in a single platform).

Chemspeed’s AutoSuite User Interface & Executor software packages execute and control all modules of the entire product development cycle. They control all Chemspeed robotic platforms and any other integrated 3rd party software and hardware.

AutoSuite is a software with a user friendly interface  which allows easy workflow orienteted programming. Many features such as gravimetric dispensing are automatically calibrated, eliminating tedious optimization steps.

• The AutoTeaching tool simplifies dispensing applications without manual trials and is applicable to e.g. solids eliminating the need for manual optimization before the dispenses are done.
• Easy programming: drag-and-drop workflow steps or just execute standard workflow protocols.
• Barcode tracking.
• ARKSUITE Workflow Studio and Internet of the Lab Tools (e.g. DoE, data mgt, substance parameter database, inventory mgt, product mgt, run mgt). It includes a full document management system (electronic labjournal) and is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant. The software scales from a single PC to large network installations with multiple hardware and clients.
