Does the MultiPep RSi require a computer?
The MultiPep RSi is operated from a standard PC. The graphical software takes care of derivative and sequence definition, generation of peptide sequences from parent protein sequences, calculation of reagent consumption, operation of the instrument and generation of a log file of operation.

How much programming is required to operate the MultiPep RSi?
During everyday use you just define the peptide sequences, select a protocol, load the work area and start the synthesis. More experienced users can modify the pre-defined protocols and adapt them to their specific needs. The relevant parameters of the protocol are accessible in the software.

Do I have access to all synthesis parameters?
The synthesis cycle is composed of individual tasks of the robot. The software lets you have full access to all relevant parameters and you can modify existing methods or create new procedures.

Is there a record of what the instrument does?
All instrument operations are automatically recorded to the computer hard disc. The files can be opened by standard text editors.
