Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, typically up to 24 samples for translation reactions or 6 samples for combined synthesis and purification per run.

Processing volumes

Commonly ranges from 100 µl to several millilitres per sample, depending on the reaction scale.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a standard laboratory power supply, typically 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz.

Footprint

Automated protein synthesizers are generally designed as benchtop units, requiring a moderate laboratory space.

Temperature control

Reagent units typically feature Peltier module temperature control, often fixed at 4°C for reagent stability.

Automation level

Fully automated for transcription, translation, and often purification steps, minimising manual intervention.
