Hand off formulation screening

Big Kahuna takes on your entire biologics formulation development process and automates it end to end. It’ll tackle buffer prep, buffer exchange, pH checks, sample prep and analysis. Get those accelerated stability studies done with integrated sample incubation and automated freeze/thaw systems. Take on more developability screens, and check out a wider formulation space.

Supercharge your workflow

Big Kahuna lets you run hundreds of experiments in parallel with way less material, so deep exploration of your formulation work or reaction conditions is a snap. Pick your variables, map out your workflow and get it all done on one system. See the big picture more clearly, discover clues and spot more advantageous variables and conditions.

Discover the next big thing in catalysis

Big Kahuna lets you make additions and grab samples from your reactions while they’re happening. You’ll have a whole new level of insight into what your small process tweaks do in real time. Take it to the next level and screen both discreet variables like catalyst precursors and ligands and continuous variables like temperatures, pressures and time. Pinpoint key process variables, map out reaction profiles, identify high yield and selectivity conditions and optimize synthetic routes — all on the same system. Get brochure.
