An 8‐Fold Parallel Reactor System for Combinatorial Catalysis Research

Abstract

Increasing economic globalization and mounting time and cost pressure on the development of new raw materials for the chemical industry as well as materials and environmental engineering constantly raise the demands on technologies to be used. Parallelization, miniaturization, and automation are the main concepts involved in increasing the rate of chemical and biological experimentation.

Automated robotic platforms in design and development of formulations

“…63 Systems for carrying out reactions in parallel under different conditions have been implemented by Chemspeed, Hel Ltd., and other vendors. [64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81] Specifically, high-and medium-throughput facilities have been implemented in the pharmaceutical industry, where large numbers of compounds and reactions should be screened. Some examples are represented by high-capacity storage facilities handled by moving robots and/or robotic arms and miniaturized prototypes for synthesis and testing.…”
