Formulation Workflow
Design, Formulate, and Characterize Formulations Using An Integrated, Automated Workflow
The Formulation Workflow allows you to rapidly optimize your products using high throughput techniques to explore a large and complex formulation space:
- Explore a diverse formulation space by varying formulation components and conditions.
- Minimize human error and maximize quality of data.
- Screen formulations in a variety of application-specific tests.
- Create a complete picture of formulation properties, without having to pick and choose which samples to investigate.
- Correlate formulation properties to composition and process variables, allowing for efficient optimization of end products.
Capabilities
By combining hardware and software capabilities, the Formulation Workflow accelerates innovation by enabling the testing of a broader experimental space.
The workflow runs on our modular CM3 platform, which offers flexibility in sample preparation and testing:
- Solid, liquid and viscous material dispensing on the same robotic platform.
- Dispense by mass with closed loop control for excellent accuracy with difficult to handle materials.
- High shear mixing provided by cups with bottom-mounted impellers in a temperature-controlled module.
-
Multiple impeller designs available depending on the application
- Emulsification
- Control of particle size
- Reduction of particle attrition
Data Management
Integrated LEA software enables researchers to easily plan and execute large, combinatorial experiments and then visualize, interpret, and share the results of those experiments:
- Share data across your organization driving better decision making
- Correlate formulation performance to experimental design through queries of the application database.
