The slurry dispensing apparatus is shown in Fig. utilising a commercial Eppendorf liquid handling robot. With three components and a 0.2 cm 3 individual sample volume this system can deliver up to 200 discs from a single set of suspensions. After isopressing, using the support tooling shown in Fig. , and calcination a set of discs with flat faces are produced which, when embedded in epoxy resin (Fig. ), are suitable for presentation to an X-ray diffractometer with an automated XY-stage (Fig. ) for initial assessment of phase identification. This enables further measurements that can be carried out on an approximately flat surface such as Raman spectroscopy, approximate measurements of permittivity, resistivity / conductivity and SEM/EDX for imaging and compositional analysis. If more precise chemical analysis is required to confirm the composition of particularly interesting samples then they are cut out of the resin blocks and the resin is easily burnt off at 600 °C before digestion for ICP analysis. With this in mind an epoxy resin with no measurable ash content was chosen. Initial trials to optimise the reproducibility of the wet dispensing step are described in the Supplementary Information. Once all the processing steps were established, we used the complete process initially to produce a simple ternary compound, calcium titanate. We then used the complete process for more complex systems, to show that expected phases will form under the process conditions with the ultimate aim to identify previously unknown compositions and structures in the phase fields. This resulted in expanding the solid solution range of a previously reported quaternary oxide through the identification of an unreported composition.
