For application of homogeneous catalysis in the production of fine chemicals speed of development is essential. For this reason we have built a strong capability in the area of high throughput screening. Our robots are standardly used in screening for the best catalyst and the subsequent optimization process. Reaction conditions range from -40º to 150ºC and from atmospheric pressure to high pressure (30 bar). High throughput analysis is available, using HPLC (including chiral HPLC), GC and flow NMR.
