The Overture™ Robotic Peptide Library Synthesizer was designed to generate and synthesize peptide libraries in an easy to use, high-throughput format. The Overture's™ flexible reaction vessel configurations and software allow libraries from 4 to 96 compounds to be made, including overlapping peptides for epitope mapping, alanine-scanning libraries, positional scanning libraries, random libraries, truncation peptide libraries and scrambled peptide libraries for sequence optimization. The Overture's™ flexible, easy to use software features easy sequence importing, automatic sequence placement, automatic library generation, automated cleaning routines and report and log file generation. It is also the only robotic peptide synthesizer to feature on-board automated cleavage without any user intervention!
Special features include the Safe-Response feature which automatically drains and rinses the resin with solvent when an error occurs, as well as E-mail Notification which can send an email to a computer or cell phone with the status of a synthesis, for worry-free operation. Other features include a workstation utility, which allows syntheses to be created on a desktop computer, and then transferred to the Overture™ with a USB stick! A unique door-opening mechanism and convenient solvent cabinet save bench space.
Features:
6 Independent Reaction Vessel Blocks
The Overture™ features 6 independent reaction vessel blocks available in 2 configurations which hold 16 (1.3 mL, 10 mL) RV's or 4 (1.3 mL, 10 mL, 40 mL, 45 mL) RV's. Each reaction vessel block is independent, so you can run 6 different programs simultaneously on the instrument, and use any configuration for any RV block. Run anywhere from 4 to 96 peptides at the same time!
49 Amino Acid Positions
The Overture™ can hold up to 49 individual amino acid dispensers capable of infinitely variable delivery volumes accurate to 50 uL. Each dispenser is primed automatically by the synthesizer. No rinsing is required between amino acid deliveries, saving solvent and time!
Full-Color Chemical-Resistant Touchscreen
Software operation is easy with this feature, and with no external computer, the Overture™ saves you valuable lab space as well!
Flexible Fluid Delivery
Select from 1-channel or 4-channel wands to dispense reagents, or use fast flood-fill deliveries for washing!
Variable Vortex Mixing
The Overture™ features continuous variable vortex mixing of the reaction block during syntheses, so every reaction vessel gets the mixing intensity it needs regardless of scale or protocol.
Single-Point Calibration
Calibrate the robotic arm in less than 5 minutes with automated single-point calibration!
Automatic Library Generation
Create your own libraries on the Overture™ software! Choose from overlapping peptide libraries for epitope mapping to alanine-scanning libraries, positional scanning libraries, random libraries, truncation peptide libraries and scrambled peptide libraries. The Overture™ will automatically assign reaction vessel positions for each peptide in a library.
User Logging
The Overture™ provides different levels of security for different users with its login screen.
■ System access limited to authorized individuals
■ User ID and password provide an electronic signature for each user
■ Users may login as an Administrator, Designer or Runner
Personalized User Databases
Individual users can create their own programs and peptide sequences that can only be accessed when they are logged in. Files can be created on the Overture™ or on an external computer and transferred to the Overture™ via a portable USB drive:

E-mail Notification Feature
Have the Overture™ send an email to your computer or cell phone at a specified program step, at the beginning of each cycle, or when an error occurs.
Safe Response Feature
The Overture™ can rinse and drain your reaction with a solvent of your choice if your synthesis is interrupted for any reason.
Automated Cleavage
The Overture™ is the only robotic synthesizer that can cleave your peptides on the instrument without user intervention! Deliver TFA to the reaction vessel from a solvent bottle or an amino acid dispenser. Afterwards, collect your cleaved peptides in 12 or 50 mL centrifuge vials located directly below the reaction vessel blocks, in convenient centrifuge-compatible holders! Add ether directly to the collection vials and centrifuge to precipitate your peptide!
