Automated gravimetric pick & decision dispense of honey-like compounds

FLEX SWIP

Pharmaceutical industry faces the increased demand for innovative medicines against various diseases. In this regard, the compound library in pharmaceutical industry is the most valuable asset. However, the compound distribution from the library into the screening plates is often still done manually and binds highly qualified resources to very time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone tasks.

Overview

Chemspeed's solution

Ultimate, gravimetric sub-droplet reformatting / dispensing of viscous liquids and honey-like compounds.

The SWIP technology allows fully automated true one-to-one gravimetric "pick & decision dispense" of viscous, honey-like compounds. The scheme at the bottom of this page displays the simplified SWIP workflow including a precision "pick & decision dispense" step. The technology backbone is based on Chemspeed’s proprietary overhead gravimetric dispensing tool design.

Benefits

Powerful advantages

Revolutionary accuracy & precision due to decision dispensing.
Dispensing range from <100 μg to mg with +/- 10 μg resolution.
No cross-contamination.
No dead volume.
Unattended operation.
Fully inert (glass).

In order to exclude any risk of cross-contamination disposable glass tips (SWIPs) are used which are stored and provided by an automated SWIP dispenser.

The SWIP are available in different sizes (diameter) and can be selected according to the desired target amount to be dispensed.
