Scope of the call
The FASS (Fast and Accurate Solubility for Sustainability) project develops a disruptive instrument based on Ultrafast Light Scattering (ULS) technology which combines high-efficiency second harmonic scattering (SHS) and Ultrafast Linear Light Scattering (LLS). ULS combines the analytical advantages of state-of-the-art solubility measurements, HPLC-based workflows that are slow but accurate and light scattering systems (nephelometry and DLS) that are fast but not accurate while achieving cutting edge performance in sensitivity and reliability.
The FASS saves 90% of cost, 90% of measurement time, 99% of chemicals and 97% of electricity and 80% of compounds compared to the gold standard. As an optical light scattering technique, FASS is non-destructive, and combined with analytical advantages and sustainable use of chemicals and compounds, provides a disruptive innovation in solubility measurement.

To further enable the use of this new technology for scientific community, this call offers applicants the opportunity to have their samples measured with the FASS technology. The Biopharma group at the University of Santiago (USC) the Compostela will perform the measurements and provide the raw and analysed data to the applicant.
In this process neither of the FASS partners including USC, Oryl Photonics nor EU-OPENSCREEN ERIC will claim any IP on the actions and will not publish the data without the consent from the provider of the samples.
The call will be open from 18.05.206-30.08.2026 and applications will be reviewed and approved on a rolling basis.
Samples
The platform is open to measure for small molecules, peptides, larger molecules including PROTACs and MCPs and proteins. Samples can be analysed in aqueous medium or DMSO and can include co-solvents, excipients and salts.
Our researchers are experienced in working with newly synthesized compounds of unknown activity. However, please refrain from providing samples where prior knowledge suggests an obvious safety-compromise.
Eligibility
Any researcher from a public or private organization is eligible to answer this call.
Cost
The work performed at USC is free-of-charge. We expect applicants to cover the shipment costs of their samples.
Evaluation
Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis by representatives from the FASS consortium including USC, Oryl Photonics, EU-OPENSCREEN ERIC and FHNW on the feasibility of the measurements. In case there are more applications than measuring capacity, the consortium will prioritize applications based on the alignment with the consortium members interest.
Applicant Feedback
An integral part of this call is to assess the scope the FASS technology and to understand which research challenges and pain points can be best tackled by this machine. Therefore, the completion a 10 min feedback survey is obligatory to obtain the data.
Timeline
The online proposal submission will be open on a rolling basis from 18.05.206-30.08.2026.
Contact
Any questions on the call or application process may be forwarded to Robert Harmel (robert.harmel@eu-openscreen.eu) or Orly Tarun (otarun@orylphotonics.com) We look forward to receiving your applications!
