Automated liquid handling system

The University of Groningen (hereinafter: the UG) intends to procure an automated liquid handling system and to integrate it with the Tecan Spark plate reader already in use at the Stratingh Institute for Chemistry. The combined system will be used to analyse and characterise reaction kinetics and to feed the resulting data into an AI-driven optimisation loop. Within the BigChemistry initiative - a new RobotLab has recently been established at the Stratingh Institute for Chemistry (University of Groningen). The overarching goal of the RobotLab is to enable closed-loop optimization of catalytic processes through automation. Plate-reader-based analysis is well suited to this goal: up to 384 reaction conditions can be measured in a single run - and the material consumed per screening is...
