MULTIPLANT / AUTOPLANT ENERGY

Benefits

Powerful advantages

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:

  • Up to 12 / 24 fuel cell catalyst syntheses per run on an AUTOPLANT, up to 6 per run on a semi-automated MULTIPLANT.
  • Independent control of all process parameters in each reactor.
  • Independent, precise temperature and stirring control in each reactor.
  • Multiple independent gas and liquid feeds per reactor.
  • Gravimetric solid and viscous liquid dispensing.
  • 4-Needle Head for volumetric liquid handling and sampling.
  • Feeding and sampling under reaction conditions.
  • Cleaning in place (e.g. automated cleaning, inserts).
  • entilated hood for safety and conditioned (sensitive chemicals, low-temperature) operation.
  • AUTOSUITE SOFTWARE - drag & drop experimentation with easy interface (e.g. python custom device) to e.g. LIMS, ELN, data analysis, AI / ML closed loop.
