Advances in instrumentation have led to increasing interest in automatic chemical analyses. Unfortunately, the potential flexibility of robot systems can often not be exploited because of complex programming languages and poor user-interface. These factors generally limit the use of laboratory robots to a few repetitive tasks. This paper describes the development of a general robot control system for automatic chemical analysis. The program is written in Turbo Pascal and Visual Basic and runs in the Microsoft Windows environment. The analytical workspace is designed by selection of an object's icon followed by its desired orientation. Positioning of this object is then performed using a ‘drag and drop’ procedure. The robotic procedure is set-up by selection of items of apparatus and their associated actions. The performance of the system is demonstrated by the determination for caffeine in tablet formulations using a continuous dilution and calibration scheme.

The challenge of developing automated systems to undertake solution phase synthesis was embarked upon at Zeneca Pharmaceuticals in 1992. The objective of this project, using XP Zymate™ laboratory robots, has been realised with the establishment of a Research Department facility that has enabled research chemists to utilise the systems to generate compounds for test in relevant biological screens. The systems developed use the minimum of modification to the chemical method of reaction assembly, execution and isolation required of the products. This year will see the expansion of the Robotics facility from 3 to 7 systems. To date over 8000 novel individual compounds have been synthesised. Products have been purified where necessary, and over 30 different types of chemistry have been utilised. The work undertaken has covered the full scope of synthetic chemistry in the research process, incorporating library generation for high throughput screening, lead identification, and lead optimisation. To describe the work of the group an overview of the capabilities of the systems and the types of work undertaken, within the facility, is presented.
