- Typical reactor volume
- Units in this class commonly feature reactor volumes ranging from 1 ml to 50 ml per vessel, enabling parallel processing of multiple reactions.
- Number of parallel reactions
- Automated synthesizers like the ASW2000 typically support 4 to 96 parallel reactions, depending on the configuration and reactor block.
- Temperature range
- For this class of equipment, a typical operating temperature range is from -80°C to +150°C, often with precise temperature control for each reactor.
- Reagent handling
- Units commonly feature automated liquid handling for precise dispensing of reagents, often under inert gas conditions.
- Power supply
- Typically requires a standard laboratory power supply, commonly 230V, 50Hz (UK standard), with specific amperage requirements varying by model.
- Footprint
- The footprint for an automated synthesizer workstation can vary significantly, but typically requires dedicated bench space, often around 100-150 cm width and 70-100 cm depth.
