This is facilitated through the development of optimised processing protocols which enable a faster introduction of the materials produced into the marketplace via their rapid optimisation which is rarely possible using standard research and development techniques.Ī large and diverse class of industrial materials development programs can be enhanced through the use of automated synthesis and characterisation techniques. The value we create for our partners is the rapid development and optimisation of new materials. Through RAMP, research can be fast-tracked through the application of automated materials' synthesis and characterisation workflows. [Music plays and CSIRO logo and text appears: Big ideas start here, Copy If you’re a business just get in touch with us via the website and we’re more than happy to host you, show you the lab and hopefully discuss some new projects with you. We really would like to get new industry projects in and we’re really excited about engaging with new companies. We have a lot of expertise within the laboratory to develop new products and use the formulation and characterisation expertise that we have. Looking forwards to the future, a big opportunity within RAMP is to help companies with their formulation. We have a statistician who allows us to do design of experiments and we also have scientists with expertise in data analysis and characterisation of materials to really enable the whole work flow when people do experiments in RAMP to be utilised. We have scientists with expertise in chemistry and material science. Within the RAMP Centre we’ve got scientists with a range of expertise. The best thing about working with RAMP is working with the scientists and conducting the research and just finding amazing discoveries for our customers. We work with food companies and even nutraceutical companies. We work with companies doing formulation, recycling. ![]() We work with companies that make paints, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, catalysts. We have a catalyst unit called a Flowrence, that’s able to do 48 catalytic reactions in one go and analyse the products which are formedĪnd we also have a Dotbot robot so we can spot materials onto surfaces and we can spot thousands and analyse those materials and the effects they have on different parameters. ![]() ![]() It can homogenise, sonify, we can do reactions at high temperature, low temperature and even centrifuge within the robots. The two biggest robots are called Chemspeed Robots and they have an arm which goes around and picks up different tools and so that arm can do different tasks. So we have a number of robots located within the RAMP Centre. So we’re a very unique facility.Ī great example of research which was conducted within RAMP is a project we had with a company making catalysts and when they did that research we were able to conduct five years worth of research in six months which was absolutely amazing and fantastic for the company to get the outcome so rapidly. Within Australasia, we’re the only laboratory which has the capability to do all the different types of formulation and chemical reactions and characterisation. One of the main benefits of using our laboratory is the fact that we use robotics to automate our research which means that we can do research much faster than is commonly done by traditional means. Hi, I’m Ben Muir and I manage the RAMP Centre within CSIRO. The RAMP Centre is part of the CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency and we’re open to working with people from all over the globe. ![]() Ben Muir: So the Rapid Automated Materials and Processing Centre is a state of the art laboratory which helps fast track chemicals, materials and formulation research. ![]()
