SYRO II
Fully automatic peptide synthesizer

SYRO II is a fully automatic, computer controlled peptide synthesizer utilizing a two arm pipetting robot

The left arm is equipped with a pipette tip that is connected to a dosing pump via a tube and a three-way valve. All of the reagents defined on the work area can be sampled by the left arm and delivered to any chosen container on the work area. Additionally, the left arm can take in a solvent from outside the work area via the three-way valve and also deliver it to any reachable container.

The right arm possesses a triple pipetting comb in which every single pipette tip is attached to a dosing pump via a tube and a three-way valve. The pumps take up washing solutions and reagents from storage containers outside of the SYRO through the valve and the distributor. All wash steps and simultaneous reagent distribution, for example piperidine distribution, can be carried out by the right arm.

SYRO II is equipped with two type-U reactor blocks that can accept two, five and 10 ml reactors. An infinitely variable vortexer guarantees an optimal mixing of the reactants.

Digital injection pumps enable dosing with microliter precision and user-friendly software allows all technical possibilities of the robot to be easily implemente.

The modular construction offers great flexibility with respect to the number and size of the storage and reaction containers.

Optionally, all storage containers for reagents and reactors can be equipped with the capability to work under inert gas.
