Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a methods, an apparatus, and a system for performing a high-throughput preparation and a screening of salts and polymorphs of drug candidates. SOLUTION: The method is directed toward enhancing the pre-formulation discovery process used for a drug development. In particular, processes of determining suitable salts and processes of discovering substantially every polymorph that can form from a particular drug candidate are provided. The processes are performed using several apparatuses that are specifically configured to carry-out various steps in a high-throughput characterization process. One such apparatus is configured for synthesizing a plurality of library members from, for example, a library model generated by a computer system. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A method of characterizing materials comprising the steps of: providing a substrate; synthesizing an array of materials on said substrate; providing at least one reactant gas wherein said reactant gas is in contact with said array of materials; activating at least one of said materials on said array with a heating source; and periodically monitoring an infrared emission from said activated material with an infrared camera, wherein said infrared camera outputs a series of signals corresponding to an emission intensity varying with time of said activated material.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for screening diverse arrays of materials are provided . In particular, techniques are provided for rapidly characterizing compounds in combinatorial arrays of materials for discoverin g and/or optimizing new materials with specific desired properties. According to one aspect, a scanning mass spectrometer is used which includes an ionization chamber and a collector that outputs an electrical signal responsive to the quantity of gas ions contacti ng the collector surface. A conduit system selectively withdraws samples from the array of materials, passing the samples into the ionization chamber. In a specific embodiment, reactants are passed through the conduit system to the selected regions of interest on the substrate. Mea ns are provided to selectively heat regions on the substrate.
