Chemify’s Chemputation technology translates target molecules into proven chemical code that runs directly on the company’s robotic systems, enabling fully automated Design–Make–Test–Analyze cycles. By automating the end-to-end cycle from molecular design to synthesis and analysis, Chemify can access novel chemical space and potentially achieve a 10-fold reduction in the time required from initial conception to compound synthesis. Last year, Chemify opened its first Chemifarm, a fully automated chemistry facility in Glasgow, Scotland, one of the world's most advanced laboratories for molecular design and synthesis. This facility enables automated synthesis and rapid iteration for the discovery of novel small...
