MULTI-SCALE PEPTIDE SYNTHESIZER
7 EASY STEPS TO PEPTIDE SYNTHESIS USING PUREPEP CHORUS
Step 1: Group reaction vessels to run simultaneously or sequentially. Different groups can run unique protocols.
Step 2: Input parameters including coupling methods, reagent excess, and information on resins for use in record-keeping and calculations.
Step 3: Add peptides from the library or create new ones with the sequence editor. Select cycles for special chemistry within groups and prime-free Single-ShotTM additions for expensive reagents.
Step 4: Choose to use default bottle positions for amino acids and reagents or arrange as desired.
Step 5: Assign pre-programmed or custom chemistry protocols to any cycle in any group. For heated syntheses, select default temperatures for deprotections and couplings, and exceptions for any step, cycle, RV or group.
Step 6: Let the software calculate the weights and volumes needed for all reagents, as well as theoretical yield and estimated synthesis time.
Step 7: Start synthesis from the beginning or at any cycle and step desired. View UV and temperature data in real time while a synthesis is running, and follow countdown to completion of your peptide.
IntellisynthTM UV Monitoring
Proprietary Intellisynth real-time UV monitoring can be configured on as many reaction vessel pairs as you desire, enabling automated optimization of the deprotection reaction. Monitoring the solution during mixing allows control of both reaction times and the number of repetitions, ensuring deprotections go to completion while avoiding wasted time or reagent.
View real-time UV data while a synthesis is running and full data from any completed synthesis.
Individual graphs show reaction progress during a cycle. Summary graphs indicate differences in times and repetitions between different cycles, providing valuable diagnostic information on synthetic trouble spots for difficult sequences.
Induction heating
Induction heating can be configured on as many reaction vessel pairs as you desire. It accelerates chemistry and improves purity for difficult sequences. Heating conditions in each of the six reaction vessels can be independently set to enable temperature scans for process optimization or to accommodate parallel synthesis of sequences requiring different protocols. View real-time temperature data while a synthesis is running and full profiles from any completed synthesis.
