Automated Synthesis and Chromatography Workshop
Description
This course takes place on 3rd and 4th March 2026 at BRS BV site (Bergensesteenweg 79, 1651 Beersel, Belgium).
This two-day training module provides valuable insights into the automation of both chemical synthesis and chromatographic purification.
Day 1 focuses on automated chemical synthesis, showcasing how the Atlas HD Automated Reactor System and Atlas Syringe Pump can be seamlessly controlled via a single software interface. Participants will learn how automation improves reproducibility, efficiency, and safety while gaining practical insight into setting up and monitoring automated reactions.
Day 2 provides comprehensive training in flash, preparative, and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The morning session covers key chromatography principles, including sample loading, column selection, and practical guidelines to optimize your purification processes. In the afternoon, participants will gain hands-on experience using the CombiFlash® NextGen 300+ and ACCQPrep HP150 systems for automated purification.
Target Audience
This course is ideal for researchers, chemists, and laboratory professionals looking to enhance their expertise in automation and chromatographic techniques through a combination of theory and practical experience.
