Introduction To The Liberty Blue
Introduction To The Liberty Blue
The Liberty Blue is the latest generation of automated microwave peptide synthesizer. Built on CEM’s exible
Discover microwave platform, the Liberty Blue is capable of synthesizing peptides faster and more efciently than
conventional synthesizers, thanks to the system’s patented circular microwave cavity. The Liberty Blue’s efcient
Flex-Add™ technology eliminates the need for sample loops and allows innite volume delivery options for a wide
range of synthesis scales.
Components and Parts
Liberty Blue Module: The Liberty Blue handles all of the uid transfer into and out of the reaction vessel. In
addition, the Liberty Blue manages communications with the computer controller and the Discover during peptide
synthesis.
Discover Microwave Reactor: The Discover microwave reactor holds the reaction vessel and generates the
microwave energy used to irradiate the sample. The Discover is capable of operating independently of the Liberty
Blue.
Power Switches: There are two power switches, one for the Discover and one for the Liberty Blue. Both switches
must be on to operate the Liberty Blue.
External Bottles: Bottles for waste, main solvent, and deprotection connect to the manifold on the side of the
Liberty Blue using GL45 caps and tubing assemblies. The external bottles sit in a bottle holder magnetically
