Manual SPPS
Useful for simple exploratory work, small tests, and laboratories with experienced operators and available bench time.
SPPS workflow comparison
CEM Liberty Blue 2.0 vs manual peptide synthesis: when does automation make sense?
Manual Fmoc SPPS can be flexible, but it consumes trained operator time and depends on disciplined execution across repeated cycles. CEM Liberty Blue 2.0 access is most useful when a research team needs structured automation, repeatable workflows, and scheduled peptide synthesis capacity without buying an instrument.
TakeLabControl offers a rental-style access model: reserve the instrument when the project needs automated peptide synthesis, keep the project scope controlled, and avoid long-term hardware ownership costs.
Liberty Blue 2.0
Better aligned with repeatable Fmoc SPPS workflows, method testing, and organized instrument scheduling.
Rental access
Provides access to automated synthesis capacity without capex, installation, service, and internal training overhead.
Decision criteria
- annual number of peptide synthesis runs
- sequence difficulty and aggregation risk
- operator availability and laboratory time
- need for repeatable workflow execution
- instrument ownership cost versus rental access
- confidential sequence handling requirements
