Sünteesiseadmed, commonly referred to as synthesis equipment, are specialized tools and apparatus used in chemistry and biology for the creation of new molecules and compounds. These devices facilitate a wide range of chemical reactions, from simple organic syntheses to complex biomolecular assembly. The design and function of synthesis equipment vary greatly depending on the specific application, scale of operation, and the nature of the materials being manipulated.

In organic chemistry laboratories, typical synthesis equipment includes glassware such as round-bottom flasks, condensers, and separatory funnels, alongside heating mantles, magnetic stirrers, and vacuum pumps. These allow for controlled heating, cooling, mixing, and separation of reaction components. For more advanced syntheses, specialized reactors, such as automated peptide synthesizers or oligonucleotide synthesizers, are employed. These automated systems are designed to perform repetitive reaction steps with high precision, enabling the efficient construction of complex molecular chains.

Biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries often utilize larger-scale synthesis equipment. This can include bioreactors for microbial fermentation or cell culture, which are crucial for producing proteins, enzymes, or other biological products. Chemical synthesis plants employ large-scale reactors, distillation columns, and filtration systems to produce chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and materials in commercial quantities. The overarching goal of all synthesis equipment is to provide a controlled environment where chemical or biological transformations can occur efficiently and safely, leading to the desired end product.
