Bosch Lab Systems - About High Throughput Experimentation - Throughput Technology, HTE, HTP, HTS, Throughput Synthesis, HTE mixing, CLS, pharmaceutical industry

High Throughput Experimentation, also referred to as combinatorial chemistry, has significantly changed the development of new drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. By automation of experiments and analytics the scientists are able to screen a much wider range of materials and parameters than ever before.

A similar paradigm change is taking place in the chemical industry. Scientists and management have started to recognize that High Throughput Experimentation will help to accelerate the commercialization of their products. Therefore new High Throughput Synthesis and Screening methods are being developed by numerous teams.

Due to the increased demands in formulation and characterization methods, solutions already established in the pharmaceutical industry can only be used to a limited extent for the development of new materials. Higher temperatures, a broader spectrum of materials, more stringent requirements for chemical stability as well as a larger number of chemical and physical analytical methods have to be taken into account.

Bosch, with its interdisciplinary knowledge in such areas as mechanical engineering, dosing and measurement technologies, automation and process engineering, and the complex interaction of mechanical engineering and chemistry, makes High Throughput Experimentation easily manageable for your company.

It can be seen in the following graphik, that we are able to satisfy the demand for High Throughput Experimentation in any of the four subareas by our two product lines: Integrated Lab Systems (ILS) and the Compact Lab Station (CLS).
The CLS is the perfect fit for small and medium sized companies or for companies interested in a step-wise introduction of High Throughput Experimentation. Two or more stations can be combined to easily adapt the resulting system to the customer-specific workflows and/or output. The ILS on the other hand, is an highly integrated, though modular, system, that was designed to immediately achieve High Throughput Experimentation and cannot be composed step-wise.
