  • Discussion of synthesizer features: single-channel vs. parallel synthesis, UV monitoring, microwave heating.

    • Main Results:

    • Two primary SPPS instrument designs exist: valve-based and robotic.
    • Valve-based systems offer scalability to 24 peptides, often using inert gas.
    • Robotic platforms excel in high-throughput synthesis (up to 192 peptides) and peptide libraries.
    • Single-channel synthesizers can incorporate UV monitoring and microwave heating for enhanced efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • The choice of SPPS instrumentation depends critically on the intended application.
    • Factors influencing selection include chemistry type, scale of synthesis, and desired throughput.
    • Both valve-based and robotic systems offer distinct advantages for various research and production needs.
