Automatic Small-Molecule Synthesis Platform
Automatic Small-Molecule Synthesis Platform
Automatic Small-Molecule Synthesis Platform
The platform comprises two interconnected automated stations for synthesis and post-processing. Within the glove box, the synthesis station utilizes a robotic arm to perform cap opening, weighing, solid feeding from stock hoppers, negative-pressure dosing, liquid dispensing, capping, and magnetic stirring with heating. Once the reaction is complete, the vessels are transferred to the post-processing station for a sequence of automatic operations: cap opening, magnetic stir bar retrieval, nitrogen blow-down with heating, sonication, centrifugation, supernatant decanting, and oven drying. Optional steps, such as washing and recrystallization, are also available. All process data are captured and fully logged by the control software.
Features
- In-Glove-Box Automated Formulation
Solid hopper feeding, gravimetric weighing, negative-pressure transfer, liquid dispensing, and automatic capping are all performed within the enclosed glove box environment.
- Automated Magnetic Stirring & Heating
Vessels are robotically transported to the stirring-heating station and moved to the output queue upon reaction completion.
- Integrated Automatic Post-Processing
A continuous workflow includes stir bar removal, nitrogen blow-down, heating, reagent addition, sonication, centrifugation, supernatant decanting, and oven drying.
- Configurable Purification Branches
Optional washing and recrystallization workflows are available to meet diverse product purification requirements.
