Symyx Library Studio

Symyx Library Studio software provides an environment for the specification of one, several, or hundreds of experiments. Chemicals, mixtures, and process parameters are defined and then combined in a recipe-style user interface. 

The library design software, Library Studio , is part of a suite of software applications, Renaissance , developed at Symyx to design experiments, control robotics, integrate and control analytical devices, and capture and search experimental designs, methods, and data. 

Fig. 11.8 Schematic of the automated primary high-throughput electrochemical workflow employed at Symyx Technologies for the combinatorial development of new fuel cell catalysts. Individual steps of the workflow include choice of catalyst concept, design of appropriate materials library using Library Studio [31], synthesis of electrocatalyst library on electrode array wafer, XRD and EDX characterization of individual electrocatalysts before screening, high-throughput parallel electrochemical screening of library, XRD and EDX characterization of catalysts after screening, data processing and evaluation.
