Although continuous flow chemistry—wherein molecules are made in a continuous process rather than in batches—has gained ground in academic labs, its adoption by industry and contract manufacturing ...

In conventional centrifugation rotors, material processing involves a number of tedious steps, which need to be repeated until the whole sample has been processed. If the amount of material to be ...

Pharmaceutical manufacturing has traditionally been performed using batch process techniques. Batch processes have been proven over many decades of use, but can have shortcomings when it comes to ...

Researchers have designed a high-performance, open-access continuous flow process to safely produce key antibacterial drugs from bio-based furfural. Researchers at the University of Liège (BE) have ...

The spate of drug patent expirations known as the patent cliff is sharpening minds. Pharmaceutical companies have been looking under every rock to save money, and one idea they have found is ...

Evidence from several Shell operating units confirms that daily allocation based on continuous well flow estimates can be more accurate than the more traditional approach based on well testing. The ...

Aim: To demonstrate the potential of in-line nanoparticle size measurements using the NanoFlowSizer (NFS) as a PAT method. To achieve real-time process control by establishing automated regulation of ...

Using a small block of aluminum with a tiny groove carved in it, scientists are developing an improved "green chemistry" method for making biodegradable polymers. A prime example of the value of ...

Quantum dots have promising applications in a wide range of fields such as photovoltaics, medicine, and quantum computing. The Center for Applied Nanotechnology (CAN) in Hamburg is making significant ...
