Automation Spotlight: Smarter Phase Separation for Better Chemistry
How Automated Phase Separation Improves Process Reliability, Reproducibility, and Yield
A successful synthesis doesn’t end with the reaction—it ends with a precise and reproducible separation of the phases. This is exactly where our automated phase separation comes in.
Many can mix—but only a few can separate with precision.
In chemical processes, phase separation is often a critical step for product quality, yield, and process reliability.
Nevertheless, this process is often still performed manually in the laboratory.
This takes time and leads to unnecessary variations in the process.
Our automated phase separation reliably detects phase boundaries and separates the media from one another in a controlled manner.
This makes workflows more efficient, safer, and significantly more reproducible.
Product losses and operator errors can be reduced.
Automation really shows its strengths, especially with complex multiphase systems.
After all, the laws of nature are clear—and process decisions should be, too.
Standardized separation steps generate reliable data and ensure greater process reliability.
At the same time, operators are relieved of time-consuming routine tasks.
This transforms a manual step into a documentable and robust process.
Anyone looking to automate laboratory processes should pay special attention to phase separation.
It is an often-underestimated key to efficient and scalable process development.
In our latest Spotlight, we show how modern automation takes phase separation to a new level.
