Facilities

Swiss CAT+ is a platform for synthetic and analytical analysis with state of the art installations and technology.

Once the service platform will be running (in the course of 2024), SwissCAT+ will provide high throughput experimentation services. The equipment available for this purpose are:

Sample standardization: Custom technology to transfer commercial/custom products into standardized vials.

  • Sample storage: Custom SBS-plates storing system
  • Liquid and solid handling: Swing XL, Chemspeed – partially delivered
  • Evaporating system: Hetich Combidancer II

Heating, cooling, pressurizing, illuminating capabilities: Swing XL, Chemspeed – partially delivered
 

All sample preparation and high throughput experimentation are performed under inert atmosphere.

High throughput
