The work on the Nb-Al-P-O system generated and characterised 46 compositions calcined at four temperatures producing diffraction data for 149 discs in three weeks. The exploration of the Ba-Y-Sn-O system generated data for 48 compositions at four temperatures (192 individual pellets) in 3 weeks. Both these sample sets were generated by researchers new to the process and included time for data processing and experimental planning. Estimated output for the conventional solid state synthesis process (hand grind, press, calcine, analyse) is between 10 -20 compositions per week for an undergraduate researcher, dependent upon how many re-grinding cycles are needed and how many temperatures have to be addressed. In contrast, the high-throughput method described here requires only a single mixing cycle and, provided enough raw material suspension is available, the added time to prepare an extra set of samples for another temperature or other process condition is negligible -it merely requires dispensing of an extra sample set from the mixed suspensions and transfer of an extra tray between processes.
