With never-before-seen features like its full-color, chemical-resistant touchscreen and unique Intellisynth UV-Monitoring and Feedback Control system, the Tribute™ will revolutionize the way you make peptides! Now with the new Infrared (IR) Heating Option! Click on the links below to view additional Features and Specifications.
"Our Tribute continues to work exceptionally well and we have achieved some impressive syntheses including of very complex peptides. If all goes well with our fund raising in this difficult economic climate, we'll certainly look to purchase a second unit."
-Quote from Melbourne Laboratory, Australia
Features:
*New* Infrared (IR) Heating Option *New*
Infrared (IR) heating is the most advanced heating method on the market today! Rapid, precise IR heating can be used to heat more than one reaction vessel at the same time, is compatible with vortex mixing for homogeneous temperature profiles, and can be scaled-up! Unlike other systems, IR heating on the Tribute also features highly accurate temperature measurements and real-time, simultaneous temperature sensing for precise temperature control!
IntelliSynth UV-Monitoring and Feedback Control Option
The Tribute's new UV-Monitoring option allows you to monitor the extent of Fmoc removal during the deprotection reaction, and use that data to automatically adjust deprotection times and repetitions as well as coupling times. View, print and record data in real-time. minimize synthesis times and solvent usage as well as trial-and-error when synthesizing difficult peptides. no solvent flow tests, nitrogen adjustments, special rinsing or special software modules needed! Retrofit your existing Tribute with UV-Monitoring today!

High Efficiency Couplings
Amino acid is pre-activated in the vial by the addition of base solution. Then the active HOBt-ester is transferred to the reaction vessel and a highly efficient coupling ensues.

2 Independent Reaction Vessels
The Tribute™´s reaction vessels are completely independent. Synthesize any 2 peptides simultaneously at different scales and using different programs for each cycle!
101 Unattended Couplings
The Tribute™´s amazingly compact amino acid rack can perform over 100 couplings without reloading! Perfect for long peptide synthesis.

User Logging
The Tribute™ provides different levels of security for different users with its login screen.
■ System access limited to authorized individuals
■ User ID and password provide an electronic signature for each user
■ Users may login as an Administrator, Designer or Runner
Personalized User Databases
Individual users can create their own programs and peptide sequences that can only be accessed when they are logged in. Files can be created on the Tribute™ or on an external computer and transferred to the Tribute™ via a portable USB drive:

E-mail Notification Feature
Have the Tribute™ send an email to your computer or cell phone at a specified program step, at the beginning of each cycle, or when an error occurs.
Safe Response Feature
The Tribute™ can rinse and drain your reaction with a solvent of your choice if your synthesis is interrupted for any reason.
Automated Cleavage
The Tribute™ can deliver TFA to the reaction vessel from a solvent bottle or an amino acid vial. Afterwards, collect your cleaved peptide in a 50 mL centrifuge vial in the Tribute™´s convenient collection stand. Just add ether directly to the collection vial and centrifuge to precipitate your peptide!
Automated Cycle Dependent Volume Incrementation
The Tribute™ can automatically adjust delivery volumes to account for resin volume increases as your synthesis progresses. Delivery volumes will increase by an increment of your choice each cycle.
