OWiC SPECS Vials for “Light-Powered” Electrochemistry
Published: May 29, 2025NEW! OWiC SPECS Vials for “Light-Powered” Electrochemistry
SPECS are THE way to do electrochemistry at scale. No more wires and racks of electronics. All you need is light. You can run hundreds of reactions in parallel, dramatically speeding up electrosynthesis for drug discovery.
SPECS are tiny photoelectronic devices installed in glass vials. Each SPECS vial uses the light emitted from a Lumidox®II LED array and converts it into electricity inside your sample, creating an electrochemical reaction. SPECS vials make electrochemical synthesis:
• as easy as photochemistry
• highly parallelizable
• fit seamlessly into HTE protocols
Each SPECS device is held in place with a press-fit holder (patent pending) to center it, suspend it above the bottom surface of the vial, and protect it from stir bars. The holder is made from chemically resistant polypropylene with no adhesives.
SPECS Vials are available in these sizes:
• 1mL (8 x 30mm) glass vials in a 96-position format
• 4mL (14 x 45mm, 1 dram) glass vials in a 24-position format
Use SPECS Vials in combination with Para-dox® Reaction Blocks and Lumidox®II LED arrays
