The Chinese National Compound Library (CNCL) has recently introduced three additional large-scale automated sample storage and retrieval equipment (comPOUNDÔ) and one pneumatic linkage instrument (comPANION1-2-4) manufactured by TTP Labtech Ltd. of U.K. The system was successfully installed and tested. Thus, CNCL possesses six units of such equipment and can handle 1.2 million compounds simultaneously, thereby topping the similar system ownership list both in Asia and worldwide.
