High Throughput Multidisciplinary Research Laboratory

High Throughput Multidisciplinary Research Laboratory

HTMR

The High Throughput Multidisciplinary Research Laboratory (HTMR) is a unique facility in Morocco and a reference technological service provider, that establishes new concepts to accelerate science, research and development and supports the UM6P research community. The built platform is implementing intelligent automation that can considerably reduce the time for technology transfer, thus saving resources (both material and human).

HTMR inspires researchers to see beyond their ideas to have a clear market-driven vision and consolidate their achievements through less trial-and-error experiments. By actively designing workflows and implementing designs in a systematic and fast way, we encourage the foundation of spin-off and start-up companies at the university level within the researchers and students’ community holding bright ideas.

 

Vision

HTMR, the unique high throughput multidisciplinary research laboratory in Morocco that aims to promote utilization of automated and parallelization approaches for applying high-throughput and combinatorial experimental methodologies to accelerate the development of new materials and processes.

The HTMR laboratory allows scientists to consolidate their research and proof-of-concept based on fully automated tools allowing the synthesis and screening of large numbers of compounds through workflows design, as well as the optimization of reaction/process conditions much more rapidly than the conventional approaches.

HTMR is a capability that supports the UM6P ecosystem and Moroccan industry to accelerate the research and development reducing the time and cost involved in the materials/process development and optimization in key applications.

 

Mission

The HTMR-Lab aims for an interdisciplinary, diverse and cross-cutting approach to advance research and development in key applications, impacting the entrepreneurial ecosystem directly related to its industrial and socio-economic environment. The HTMR provides a spectrum of capabilities and automated equipment to:

  • Develop novel materials, concepts and approaches
  • Perform applied and industry-oriented research
  • Automate laboratory processes and anticipate pre-pilot results...
  • Optimize the experimental conditions of the trials across the value chain
  • Control the quality of products (e.g., precursors, additives, reagents)
  • Save test time, increase reproducibility and reliability of results and reduce costs
  • Facilitate the interaction between different programs through the workflow design 
  • Generate digitalized and executable data
  • Join world-leading centers for accelerated materials discovery and innovation
