Contract testing labs now have a powerful ally in Vapourtec’s Peptide-Builder, a fully automated peptide synthesizer designed for high-throughput and precision. With its Variable Bed Flow Reactor (VBFR) technology, this compact system accelerates peptide synthesis, enabling labs to meet client demands with greater efficiency and accuracy.
The Peptide-Builder allows the synthesis of one GLP-1 analogue in under four hours, or 16 analogues in a single weekend, making it a vital tool for labs handling multiple projects simultaneously. Its scalability (0.05 mmol to 1 mmol) and compatibility with all resin types further enhance its versatility.
Benefits for Contract Testing Labs
- Enhanced Throughput: Delivers high productivity in a compact footprint.
- Reduced Reagent Costs: Uses less than 3 equivalents of amino acids per cycle.
- Automation: Enables hands-free operation with intuitive software.
- Fast Turnaround: Rapid synthesis times to meet tight client deadlines.
- Actionable Data: Provides insights into aggregation events and Fmoc group removal.
- Eco-Friendly Design: Low solvent consumption (<80 ml/mmol/cycle) minimizes environmental impact.
Dr. Manuel Nuño highlighted the Peptide-Builder’s transformative potential, stating, “This new synthesizer features intuitive software developed in collaboration with major pharma companies. Just type the sequence and amount of resin, press ‘run’ and walk away.”
