The total process time from wet milling to data analysis is currently 8 days, with overnight processing for freezing, drying, calcination (48 hours), resin curing and X-ray diffraction. Optimisation of the freezing method and a rapid curing resin could reduce the total process time to four working days allowing faster feedback of results into the workflow and permitting a repeatable one week cycle including some time for data analysis. Total process time will, of course, depend on the chemical systems being explored and local facilities.
