Symyx Solubility Benchtop System Available

19 Aug 2007

Symyx Technologies, Inc. today announced availability of an automated system designed to prepare hundreds of samples for determining API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) solubility in different solutions.

The Symyx Benchtop System, winner of the Association for Laboratory Automation’s 2007 New Product Award, automates parallel processing of multiple steps of experimental procedures on one deck. The Solubility application integrates solid powder and liquid dispense on the same platform with weighing capabilities, supported by Symyx Software, for use in pharmaceutical research and development.

The Solubility Benchtop System comes with:

  • miniaturized materials preparation capabilities (dispensing capabilities for low viscosity aqueous and organic solutions, viscous vehicles, and powder materials)
  • sample processing capabilities (heating, cooling, mixing, and filtration)
  • sample analysis capabilities (weights, pH, imaging)
  • automated instrument control
  • an upgrade path to an integrated workflow which aggregates analytical data from multiple instruments into a single database for visualization and analysis

With integrated chemistry, software and instrumentation protocols, Benchtop Systems provide research and development teams in the pharmaceutical, chemical and consumer products industries with standard configurations and applications designed to accelerate R&D while reducing costs. The Benchtop System won the 2007 ALA New Product Award Designation at LabAutomation2007! Symyx Benchtop Systems applications currently available include: Analytical Sample Preparation: Prepare sets of standards for analytical calibration curves and for analytical method development. Catalyst Impregnation: Prepare arrays of solid-support metal catalysts for heterogeneous reaction screening. Coatings and Characterization: Design, implement and characterize formulations for a variety of performance materials and consumer products with greater speed and precision. Crystallization: Reduce the time and quantity of materials needed to complete small molecule crystallization studies for polymorph screening, salt selection, or co-crystal screening. Excipient Compatibility: Efficiently design, automate and implement consistent excipient compatibility studies. Forced Degradation/Stability: Improve the consistency and efficiency of materials stability and forced degradation studies. Liquid Formulations: Rapidly optimize liquid or viscous materials using high-throughput techniques to explore a large and complex formulations space. Solubility: Speed research with an automated solution for solubility profiling. These applications are also available as integrated workflows to perform automated experimentation for complete lab processes which would include integration with lab equipment and the ability to support document browsing and searching, enterprise-level security and auditing, and configurable document workflow. Symyx Tools integrated workflow applications are available for the Chemicals and Petrochemical, Life Sciences, and Performance Materials and Consumer Products industries.
