The Symyx Powdernium workstation, an automated powder dispensing system, significantly increases productivity and high throughput development of new formulations.

The Powdernium workstation offers state-of-the-art automation with robust XY and Z-axis controls – enabling the system to operate and run unattended day and night, resulting in accelerated development, reduced costs and improved result consistency.

Designed for unmatched versatility, the workstation enables precise, traceable and reproducible dispensing of sub-milligram to gram quantities of materials into a wide range of containers, including:

Modular in design, the Powdernium deck provides overall flexibility in layout and position of dispensing heads, racks, receptacle racks and the balance. Source samples are held in GMP-compliant dispensing heads, eliminating the chance of any cross-contamination.

Typical formulation applications that benefit from the Powdernium workstation include dispensing APIs and excipients for solubility and polymorph screening, forced degradation and compatibility studies.
