J-KEM Scientific manufactures custom robotics from simple, single-axis positioning platforms to 6-axis, multi-arm robotics that automate the most intricate processes. Every robot is customized to perform your unique procedure, and every user interface is implemented to your specifications. We create robotics that automate weighing, fraction collection, sample analysis, extractions, dilutions, sample preparations, and real-time reaction analysis. We automate centrifugation, capping/uncapping, mixing, septum penetration, SPE, solid dispensing, and virtually any other action needed to automate one unique task. And, when we’re done, J-KEM is the only company that gives you a copy of the robot’s original source code.

See ProductsFraction Collectors
Fraction collectors are a special class of J-KEM Robotics. While they're designed for the specific task of collecting fluid samples, they still have all of J-KEM's technology built into their hardware and software. Custom fraction collectors can sample multiple reactions, combine or subsample collected samples (for example, collected the main fraction and then place an aliquot of the sample into a GC vial). They can also take fractions based on time, external triggers, or sensor readings like pH, pressure, or other analog outputs.

See ProductsInfinity Controllers
The Infinity controller is the cornerstone of J-KEM’s custom instrument program, based on a completely new concept for lab automation instrumentation. The Infinity Concept After making custom instruments for well over 25 years, we know that it’s expensive and time consuming to make a custom instrument by assembling a single piece of custom hardware. The vision of the Infinity controller is to have a single, intelligent hardware controller that’s so versatile that it can be made into virtually any custom instrument by means of software. The novel concept of the Infinity controller is that new instruments are not made in hardware, but software. For example:
- Connect a thermocouple to the Infinity controller, and it becomes a temperature controller.
- Connect a pressure transducer to the Infinity-controller and it becomes a vacuum regulator.
- Connect a stirrer, chiller, syringe pump, and vacuum pump to the Infinity controller and it becomes a reaction system that can emulate an entire manufacturing process.

See ProductsReaction Controllers
J-KEM’s Reaction Controller automates chemical development in your lab. The Reaction Controller simultaneously controls reagent addition, reaction temperature, stir rate, solution pH, and data logging of all reaction parameters through a single software interface. J-KEM’s reaction controller interfaces with other manufacturer's instruments to monitor or control turbidity, viscosity, dissolved oxygen levels, and virtually any other parameter.
Lab Automation and Robotics
While others start from an existing design, then try to make your application fit their instrument, every J-KEM workstation is designed from scratch to perform your automation task efficiently and with an eye towards future expansion.
J-KEM is the only company that releases the original source code with every robot and custom instrument. We do this because we believe that if you purchase a custom J-KEM-built instrument, then you should own the full solution, including the code. Other companies sell you the hardware but own the software—this limitation hinders your ability to change the way your instrument works as your research and development needs change.
