Velocity-16 Description
The Velocity-16 is the first fully automated parallel peptide synthesizer specially designed to utilize the accelerated Boc and Fmoc protocols developed by Kent and Alewood. Peptides containing 50 amino acids can be synthesized in about a day and up to 16 different high quality peptides can be prepared simultaneously. The unique reactor assembly features a separate, individual pre-activation vessel for each reactor vessel so that amino acids can be pre-activated before coupling while the N-terminal protecting group is removed from the peptide resin.
Two robotic arms quickly and precisely deliver reagents and amino acids to the reactor assembly. While one arm probe is washing, the other is dispensing reagents and amino acids. The Windows based software is flexible and chemist-friendly. Standard protocols such as Boc or Fmoc can be used, or custom protocols can be developed. Just click on the reactants, reagents and cycles to be added to the synthesis matrix and the software automatically makes all of the assignments.
