ATLAS is an automated synthesis and analysis facility that accelerates the discovery of new materials and molecules. Using robotic platforms, we can run multiple chemical experiments in parallel and use the data generated to guide the next stage of research. This greatly speeds up the pace of discovery compared to traditional methods. The facility is open to researchers from both academia and industry, with training and support provided regardless of prior experience with automation. We also offer consultancy services.
ATLAS supports work across Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering. By combining automation with data-driven experimental design, ATLAS helps researchers address some of today's most pressing scientific and societal challenges.

ATLAS was funded by EPSRC Strategic Equipment Grant EP/V029142/
