RoboChem, works alone in the laboratory 24 hours a day - Frontiers.com. The robot developed by Dutch researchers is a sort of automated mini chemistry laboratory, capable of autonomously managing the reagents.
In one week we can optimize the synthesis of around ten to twenty molecules, work that would take a doctoral student several months,’ said Timothy Noël. According to NoëL, the use of robotics in chemistry will bring great improvements because these systems allow for very high quality data and also use fundamental 'negative' data.
