Design-Make-Test-Learn (DMTL) is the cycle through which materials are designed, synthesized, tested and evolve into the next iteration.  This process is typically used in early drug discovery and relies primarily on synthesis and screening workflows of hundreds of thousands of drug candidates which take from months to year or longer. When chemists / scientists are empowered by automation and digitalization of the workflows, it significantly accelerates and standardizes the discovery processes. Furthermore, autonomous labs in combination with AI and cloud computing propel innovation, evolutionary learning and high quality open, AI ready FAIR data.  This is not limited to pharmaceutical research anymore and extends into energy research such as electrochemical storage and conversion technologies owing to society’s ambitious commitment to transition towards climate-neutral economy.

We, Chemspeed part of Bruker Corporation, develop and manufacture vender agnostic solutions for R&D and QC workflows automation.

For power-to-x/clean tech, we provide modularly by design end-to-end solutions from synthesis, formulation, application, curing, analysis to testing. In this talk, I will present selected snapshot use cases:

  1. End-to-end electrocatalysts development for green hydrogen production
  2. DMTL of photocatalysts
  3. End-to-end automated, digitalized solutions for photovoltaics
  4. High throughput and high-quality coin cell assembly with a throughput of 20 cells per hour
  5. Electrode paste/slurry formulations and screening with benchtop Rheometer, PSD and more analytical devices
  6. Solid phase synthesis of electrode materials and online validation with XRD, XRF
  7. Screening of catalysts for CO2 conversion to value added chemicals like methanol
