The Nova 3 (formerly 386 pro) peptide synthesizer is a fully automated intelligent platform designed specifically for multi-task parallel synthesis. Each channel can simultaneously synthesize peptides with different sequences, scales, and synthesis methods, truly achieving "one machine, multiple uses."
💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What channel configurations are available for the Nova 3 peptide synthesizer?
A
The Nova 3 is available in 2, 4, or 6 channel configurations, allowing laboratories to select the setup that best matches their synthesis throughput and workflow requirements.
Q
Can each channel on the Nova 3 run different synthesis protocols simultaneously?
A
Yes. Each channel supports independent configuration of synthesis parameters including activation method, reaction time, and deprotection time, enabling truly independent parallel or asynchronous synthesis of different peptide sequences on the same instrument.
Q
What is the difference between parallel and asynchronous synthesis modes?
A
In parallel mode, all channels run the same synthesis steps simultaneously. In asynchronous mode, each channel operates independently on its own schedule, allowing channels to be at different synthesis stages at the same time — ideal for multi-sequence projects with varying cycle times.
Q
What applications is the Nova 3 best suited for?
A
The Nova 3 is ideally suited for parallel preparation of multiple peptide sequences, peptide drug screening, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, and peptide library construction — making it a versatile tool for both research and drug discovery workflows.
Q
How does the Nova 3 ensure accurate reagent dosing?
A
The Nova 3 is equipped with a high-precision quantitative dispensing system that ensures accurate and reproducible reagent delivery to each channel, reducing waste and improving synthesis consistency across all runs.
Q
Is the Nova 3 suitable for both small-scale and large-scale peptide synthesis?
A
Yes. The Nova 3 supports flexible synthesis scales across its channels. Each channel can be independently configured for different synthesis scales and methods, making it adaptable for both small exploratory batches and larger preparative synthesis tasks.
