Does the MultiPep RS have to be operated in a fume hood?
No, the instrument comes with a self-contained cabinet. An exhaust tube leading to a ventilation system must be connected to an outlet provided.

How easy is a change of synthesis scale on the MultiPep RS?
To select a different scale you have to load the correct synthesis plate and select a protocol corresponding to this scale. We supply optimized routines for several synthesis scales.

Is there any synthesis monitoring in the MultiPep RS?
No, the MultiPep RS follows an optimized coupling protocol. Sequence-related problems must be deducted from the mass spectrum of the final peptide product.

Can I use bulk reagents?
Yes, the MultiPep RS was designed for economical operation. Solvents and activator are bought from standard, recommended suppliers. Only amounts needed for a particular synthesis are weighed, dissolved and used.
