mass spectrometry

An autonomous laboratory platform utilizes mobile robots and a modular setup to perform complex chemical synthesis and analysis. By integrating standard lab instruments and heuristic decision-making, this lab can replicate a human chemist’s decision-making process for diverse chemical experiments. This setup, which includes mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance instruments, allows the lab to autonomously handle exploratory synthesis in drug discovery, supramolecular chemistry, and photocatalysis, requiring minimal human intervention. With potential for large-scale applications, this innovation could accelerate scientific discovery and transform laboratory processes in academic and industrial settings.
