Pilot-scale manufacturing is a valuable precursor to full-scale production. It ensures a cost-effective approach to research and development (R&D), scale-up, and eventual commercial production of key drug compounds. Generally, pilot manufacturing is preceded by kilo lab process chemistry results. Kilo … Continue reading
Synthesizing target molecules for biological applications such as drug development or modern organic synthesis applications involves researching the feasibility of complex catalyst synthesis pathways. Catalysts accelerate reactions, making processes more efficient or enabling the discovery of new sustainable reaction process … Continue reading
Oil, water, and sand baths are often used in laboratories to supply a steady heat source for the thermodynamic control of reaction mixtures. In an oil bath, a thermometer is used to monitor the temperature of the oil, which, in … Continue reading
As nitrogen is an abundant gas in the atmosphere, liquid nitrogen is frequently used as a cryogenic refrigerant. The widespread availability of nitrogen means that large quantities can be easily obtained and utilised. It is a critical element of modern … Continue reading
It’s the International Day of Light on Monday 16th May 2022 and we’re looking at productive ways you can light up your lab in relation to this important topic. Continue reading
Find out why people thought they were finding glass in their Creme Eggs and how chemistry engineers save the day! Continue reading
Jacketed reactors provide an excellent means of achieving reliable and consistent results, allowing scientists to scale up their reactions and increase yield from the process materials being utilized. Every good chemist knows the importance of accurate temperature management to a … Continue reading
For St Patrick’s Day we celebrate the world’s first nitro beer – thanks to mathematician – turned – brewer, Michael Ash, who joined the Guinness team back in 1951. Continue reading
Batch and flow reactions are two fundamentally different approaches to chemical processing. The question of whether a given reaction or synthesis should be carried out using a batch reactor or a flow reactor is often up for debate however. Continue reading
Rotary evaporators (rotovaps) are devices employed for removing solvents efficiently via the process of evaporation. The rotary evaporation process is one of the most widely used methods of solvent evaporation due to its optimal extraction and distillation performance. Continue reading
