AbstractThe advances of high-throughput experimentation technology and chemometrics have revolutionized the pace of scientific progress and enabled previously inconceivable discoveries, in particular when used in tandem. Here we show that the combination of chirality sensing based on small-molecule optical probes that bind to amines and amino alcohols via dynamic covalent or click chemistries and powerful chemometric tools that achieve orthogonal data fusion and spectral deconvolution yields a streamlined multi-modal sensing protocol that allows analysis of the absolute configuration, enantiomeric composition and concentration of structurally analogous—and therefore particularly challenging—chiral target compounds without laborious and time-consuming physical separation. The practicality, high accuracy, and speed of this approach are demonstrated with complicated quaternary and octonary mixtures of varying chemical and chiral compositions. The advantages over chiral chromatography and other classical methods include operational simplicity, increased speed, reduced waste production, low cost, and compatibility with multiwell plate technology if high-throughput analysis of hundreds of samples is desired.

At the forefront of new synthetic endeavors, such as drug discovery or natural product synthesis, large quantities of material are rarely available and timelines are tight. A miniaturized automation platform enabling high-throughput experimentation for synthetic route scouting to identify conditions for preparative reaction scale-up would be a transformative advance. Because automated, miniaturized chemistry is difficult to carry out in the presence of solids or volatile organic solvents, most of the synthetic “toolkit” cannot be readily miniaturized. Using palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions as a test case, we developed automation-friendly reactions to run in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature. This advance enabled us to couple the robotics used in biotechnology with emerging mass spectrometry–based high-throughput analysis techniques. More than 1500 chemistry experiments were carried out in less than a day, using as little as 0.02 milligrams of material per reaction.

ABSTRACTA technique allowing high throughput, fast and low-cost quantitative analysis of human IgG antibodies reacting to SARS-CoV-2 antigens will be required to understand the levels of protecting antibodies in the population raised in response to infections and/or to immunization. We described previously a fast, simple, and inexpensive Ni2+ magnetic bead immunoassay which allowed detection of human antibodies reacting against the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein using a minimal amount of serum or blood. A major drawback of the previously described system was that it only processed 12 samples simultaneously. Here we describe a manually operating inexpensive 96 well plate magnetic extraction / homogenization process which allows high throughput analysis delivering results of 96 samples in chromogenic format in 12 minutes or in fluorescent ultrafast format which takes only 7 minutes. We also show that His tag antigen purification can be performed on the fly while loading antigens to the Ni2+ magnetic beads in a process which takes only 12 min reducing the pre analytical time and cost. Finally, we show that the magnetic bead immunoassay is antigen flexible and can be performed using either Nucleocapsid, Spike or Spike RBD. The method performed with low inter and intra assay variability using different antigens and detection modes and was able to deliver >99.5% specificity and >95% sensitivity for a cohort of 203 pre pandemic and 63 COVID-19 positive samples.

We present a low cost, desktop size, open source, universal testing machine, designed for inexpensive high-throughput material testing. The tester can apply tensile and compressive loads up to 5 kN at rates ranging from 2 mm/min to 30 mm/min. Force measurements are achieved with ±1.8 N accuracy. The parts list for this machine represents an order of magnitude reduction in the cost per testing unit as compared to commercial systems. We describe the design and construction of the tester and validate its performance. The design, parts list, control software, and user manual are made available freely online under the open source BSD license.
