Overview

Chemspeed's solution

The Chemspeed FLEX AUTOPLANT workstations have been designed for high output experimentation in the development and optimization of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, polymers, specialty chemicals, catalysts, cathode materials, photovoltaics materials, storage materials and many more.

  • End-to-end process R&D / chemical development / scale-up
  • Organic and inorganic synthesis, reactions under pressure
  • Preparative synthesis
  • Crystallization

The cutting edge process development workstation technology allows scientists to execute and perform a variety of workflows in a fully automated fashion and truly mimic the final industrial production process. It provides all the flexibility to optimize integrated reaction sequences, even if a complex configuration of reactors and feed vessels is required.

Each reactor with its own set of conditions - individually controlled tank reactors (reactor volumes 100, 240, 1’000 mL total volume) with precise, continuous feeds.

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.
