Manual Peptide Synthesis

Discover SPPS

Overview
The Discover SPPS is a manual peptide synthesizer that utilizes microwaves to provide higher speeds and purities than traditional manual SPPS. The Discover SPPS allows analysis of the reaction mixture in between steps for method optimization or teaching opportunities. Complete deprotection, coupling, and cleavage in 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 30 minutes respectively with microwave methods.
Features
  • True internal fiber-optic temperature control
  • 3 minute deprotection
  • 5 minute coupling
  • 30 minute on unit cleavage
  • Compatible with greener solvents like Tamisolve
  • Upgrade option to automated systems
  • Flexible scale with included methods for 0.1 mmol

The Microwave Advantage

A high speed manual peptide synthesizer.

The Discover SPPS utilizes the microwave power of the Discover Microwave Synthesizer.

Microwave Provides
  • Accelerated reaction rates
  • Increased reaction efficiency
  • Reagent and solvent flexibility

Stepwise Reactions

An excellent instrument for the classroom.

By performing each SPPS step manually, students will develop a great understanding of peptide synthesis. Coupling, deprotection, and cleavage can be completed in 3, 5, and 30 minutes (respectively) making it a great fit for short lab classes. Students can learn to improve their methods by investigating individual reactions and they can test reaction conditions before synthesizing large runs.
Upgrade to a Liberty Blue 2.0
Upgrade Anytime

You can upgrade the Discover SPPS to a Liberty 2.0 instrument.

Upgrade the microwave from the Discover SPPS with a fluidics module of a Liberty 2.0 series instrument to expand throughput capabilities. You can upgrade to a Liberty Lite 2.0, a Libety Blue 2.0, or a Liberty PRIME 2.0. By upgrading you’d gain unprecedented speed, efficiency, automation, and more.
