About
The CEM Liberty Blue Peptide Synthesizer features a 4-minute cycle time along with a 90% solvent reduction, based on high efficiency solid phase peptide synthesis. This peptide synthesizer features 27 amino acid positions that can hold up to 120-mL per position. The instrument uses technology for applying microwave energy to both the coupling and deprotection for controlled peptide synthesis at elevated temperatures. This leads to synthesis times under five hours for 30 residue peptides.
