High-throughput MOFs synthesis

Description

This is a versatile synthesis robot allowing the implementation (handling of solids/liquids) of chemical reactions (at ambient pressure or under pressure) in parallel (40 max), as well as the treatment of the reactions (filtration, washing, solid recovery) and the preparation of plates for powder X-ray diffraction analysis.
