A Fully-Automated Robotic System For Intelligent Chemical Reaction Screening

机器人系统正在改变我们操纵、控制和制造对整个社会至关重要的材料的方式。在这里，我们将利用约克大学最先进的机器人系统(化学速度技术ISYNTH，一项总部位于瑞士的技术)来改变化学家(以及潜在的其他科学家)开发新反应的方式，利用其高通量反应筛选能力。ISYNTH机器人系统与其他分析仪器一起，将支持(A)反应机理、(B)反应优化、(C)新路线和化合物发现的研究。可靠地捕获反应数据及其统计分析，对于确保我们的项目成功将是重要的。该项目产生的所有数据都将通过一个公共数据储存库访问，为未来的科学家提供丰富的信息来源以供检查。我们将提供一个高度仪表化和数据密集型的系统，为化学和化学工程社区加快反应筛选的工作流程、生产率、准确性和精确度。

Robotic systems are changing the way in which we manipulate, control and manufacture materials that are of central importance to society at large. Here, we will take advantage of a state of the art robotic system (Chemspeed Technologies ISYNTH, a Swiss-based technology), based at the University of York to transform the way that chemists (and potentially other scientists) develop new reactions, drawing on its high-throughput reaction screening capability. The ISYNTH robotic system, alongside other analytical instrumentation, will support studies in (a) reaction mechanisms, (b) reaction optimisation, (c) novel route and compound discovery. Reliably capturing reaction data, and its statistical analysis, will be important in ensuring that our project is successful. All data generated from the project will be accessible through a common data repository, providing a rich source of information for future scientists to examine. We will provide a highly-instrumented and data intensive system that will accelerate workflow, productivity, accuracy, and precision in reaction screening for the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering communities.
