Make: AAPPTec
Model: Focus Xi
- Capabilities
- Single-reactor automated solid-phase peptide synthesizer.
- Excellent for production of approximately 25 mg to 1 g of resin.
- Standard or custom-designed synthesis protocols.
- Easy-to-operate system with SMART™ software.
- Minimum solvent usage and fast synthesis.
- Mixing by nitrogen bubbling, mechanical mixing, or both.
Technical Specifications
- 1 reactor vessel Volume of 100 mL
- 5 solvent/reagent lines, with optional variable lines and bottle sizes.
- 16 amino-acid containers; optional volumes of 90 mL.
- Mixing by nitrogen bubbling, mechanical mixing, or both.
- The Focus Series supports Fmoc and t-Boc peptide chemistries
Software / Automation AAPPTec’s SMART™ software analyzes the peptide sequence and provides a synthesis prediction. It supports standard or custom protocols and provides on-screen instructions for the synthesis process.
Resin Washing and Mixing The reaction-vessel design allows resin washing from the top of the reactor through the resin to waste. Focus Series instruments use variable-speed wrist-action mixing, nitrogen bubbling, or a combination, depending on configuration.
- Applications
- Automated solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).
- Peptide discovery research and synthetic-method development.
- Fmoc and t-Boc peptide chemistry.
