Automated synthesizers for synthesis of DNA, RNA, and peptides The Prelude X peptide synthesizer is capable of performing 6 parallel solid phase peptide syntheses up to batch scale (~ 1 g per synthesis). The AAPPTEC Apex 396 automated peptide synthesizer is capable of synthesizing 1-96 peptides in parallel. The tool is useful in synthesizing peptide libraries that can be screened for various materials properties. In addition to peptides, peptoids (a sequence controlled polymer system analogous to peptides) have been synthesized on this tool.
