automates molecular synthesis in sub-milligram scales
You synthesize new molecules using wet-lab glassware and chromatography. You analyze spectral data to confirm chemical structures.
The one thing AI can't do
You can sense a reaction has gone wrong just by the smell of the lab.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 2
All your notebook scribbles get uploaded to a central neural database.
Month 11
Sensors take over NMR spectral interpretation and purity logging for you.
Month 22
Precision liquid handlers replace your hands for dangerous chemical titration.
Year 2.8
Continuous flow reactors make your batch setups look like relics.
Year 4 · D-Day
The lab is sealed and run entirely by self-correcting machine logic.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
