  • 1.  Automation for analytical sample prep

    Posted 01-27-2020 08:44 PM
    Hello, 

    I'm from an analytical chemistry group performing method development and analysis of various types of small molecules in drug development. Below are the applications where we are interested in introducing the automation 

    1. Analytical sample prep with solid weighing, liquid transfers, serial dilutions, and sample delivery in capped hplc vials at the end. The sample prep should preferably use larger volumes 10-50 mL and gravimetric weighing where possible. Interested in doing replicate sample prep for linearity studies.

    2. Automation for transferring sample tray from a specific location to an hplc autosampler

    3. Automated mobile phase/buffer preparation in 500mL-2L formats with defined salt concentration and pH adjustment.

    Very good !  do you use any commercially available equipment or self-build?

    Hi Darshan,

    Have you heard anything back from anyone on this topic? We are also looking to automate a lot of our analytical sample prep, so if you have any good ideas or if your group went forward with a particular unit, please share! We are in the scoping phase and all input is welcome.

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, I have not received any responses from this query. However, I have done some search and identified options from Mettler-Toledo, ChemSpeed, and Sirius automation that we're exploring.

     

    Best,
