Customer testimonial

Enabling companies like Unilever to develop new materials and improve products is exactly what the Centre was set up to achieve. I’m delighted that our strong relationships with Unilever and Chemspeed are enabling real innovation in materials discovery.

Chemspeed’s SWING XDOSE deck modularity allows the user to execute and perform a variety of compound / substance handling workflows in a fully automated fashion.

The Gravimetric Dispensing Units (SWILE, GDU-P fd, GDU-P, GDU-HV, 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 100 µg, and allow dispensing and simultaneous weighing of ingredients into various vials, reactors, well-plates.

	Compound Type	Balance Readability	Dispensing Range and Viscosity Range without Heating	Dispensing Range and Viscosity Range with Heating	Dispensing Container Volume
The SWILE (only true 1:1 solid dispensing tool)	Solids and Powders	down to 100 µg, optionally down to 10 µg with second on-deck balance	> 100 µg to 30 mg	–	Disposable pick & dispense pipets
The GDU-P fd	Solids and Powders		100 µg to 20 g	–	30 ml
The GDU-P	Solids and Powders		100 µg to 100 g	–	100 ml
The GDU-HV	Highly Viscous Liquids and Waxes Heated transfer option = 20 ℃ to 90 ℃		100 µg to 100 g 1 mPa.s to 500’000 mPa.s	Up to waxes or substances with melt-viscosity of < 500’000 Pa.s	65 ml
The GDU-V	Low to Medium Viscous Liquids		100 µg to 100 g 1 mPa.s to 15 Pa.s	–	Disposable positive displacement syringes from 100 µl to 12.5 ml
The 4-Needle Head	Liquids	Volumetric	µl to 25 ml 1 mPa.s to 200 mPa.s	–	4 Syringes 1 ml, 10 ml, 25 ml

Exemplary dispensing time: 1g in 20 sec (depending on ingredient properties).
Dispensing robotic tool capacity: (extandable with additional ingredient storage module).
- SWING: up to 120 cartridges for the GDU-P fd, up to 32 cartridges for the GDU-P up to 65 cartridges for the GDU-HV, up to 180 syringes for the GDU-V.
- SWING XL: up to 208 cartridges for the GDU-P fd, up to 56 cartridges for the GDU-P model up to 125 cartridges for the GDU-HV model, up to 360 syringes for the GDU-V.
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 to add any ingredient into any (fixed) formulation vessel, reactor, vial etc. wherever on the platform deck while mixing, heating, cooling etc.
AutoTeaching tool to cover all your ingredients. The A.I. algorithm of the software finds automatically the best conditions to dispense your ingredient.
Automatic exchange of a dispensing cartridge if one is empty or clogged (container spanning).

Multiple dispensing configurations: one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many
(for applications requiring combinatorial dispensing)
