Overview

Chemspeed's solution

Overhead gravimetric dispensing / dosing (patented) of solids and (viscous) liquids combined with our disposable formulation vials and vessels / blenders as well as user-friendly software enable you to accelerate, standardize and digitize agrochemicals formulation, application and testing of emulsion and suspension concentrates.

Workflow

Example workflow

The interactive workflow panel below showcases example workflows for this solution. Each Chemspeed tool or module performs a set of specific actions, as in any manual lab workflow, and an almost limitless arrangement of these tools is possible.

Benefits

Powerful advantages

Up to 150 tested emulsion concentrates per day.
4-Needle Head for volumetric liquid handling and sampling.
Gravimetric dispensing (solids, powders, liquids, highly viscous materials) into disposable formulation vials and precision formulation vessels / blenders for formulation optimization / scale-up.
The balance moves to the destination, increasing speed and efficiency.
Balance resolution of 1 mg, 0.1 mg, or 0.01 mg.
A large dispensing range from mg up to g.
Integrated imageing with automated image analysis and micelle distribution measurement.
Continuous real-time monitoring and control of all formulation parameters, incl. internal and jacket temperature, shear rate and viscosity, scraping speed, reflux and pH in an inert atmosphere if desired.
Flexible adjustment of scraper positioning / orientation and choice of scraper material e.g. PTFE, PEEK.
Dispensed amount, mixing speed, temperature, time, ... and other data are stored in a read only log file.
AUTOSUITE software - drag & drop experimentation with easy interface to data analysis.
Interface for e.g. DOE, ML, AI, LIMS, ELN, ERP integration.
