Solution Transfer-75/1
The Solution Transfer-75/1 system is based on the Tecan MiniPrep 75/1 with custom hardware and software. The system is very easy to learn and use. Training usually takes less than 15 minutes and setup for operations usually takes under a minute. The system is capable of performing extractions (liquid-liquid and SPE), filtrations (including removal of scavenger resins), aliquot removal, and TLC plate spotting from both 96 and 24 well formats. It is also capable of transfers between 24 and 96 well formats and some Gilson rack formats (additional on request). It's pretty fast. Performing 24 liquid-liquid extractions from a 8 mL, 24 well format takes around 6 minutes. This system can easily serve 10 chemists involved in parallel synthesis, analogue synthesis or lead optimization with little waiting between operations.
