Poor filtration and bulk density are often related to the number of fine particles present in a system. Inline particle size and count measurements identify the exact moment and conditions when fine particle formation occurs. By pinpointing the source of the inconsistency, the root cause can be identified, and a smarter process may be developed with improved solid/ liquid separations. Read more »

Chemists, engineers, and biologists are often challenged by processes involving particle or droplet systems. Solid or liquid dispersion, homogenization, agglomeration, or precipitation can create variability in product stability and manufacturing throughput. To develop and manufacture world class products at competitive costs, scientists and engineers use inline particle size measurements to optimize process conditions and consistently meet product quality specifications, at the bench or in manufacturing.

Seeding has become one of the most critical steps in optimizing crystallization behavior, process efficiency, and product quality. Inconsistent filtration rates, drying times, yields, bulk density, flow properties, and particle size distributions can often be traced back to inconsistent seeding and nucleation. Many parameters must be taken into consideration when designing a seeding strategy such as seed size, seed loading (mass) and seed addition temperature. These parameters are generally optimized based on process kinetics and the desired final particle properties and must remain consistent during scale-up and technology transfer. Read more »

How to do more with less is a consistent theme in today’s chemical development laboratories. Researchers are challenged with how quickly and cost-effectively they can deliver high quality chemical products and the processes used to make them. This in turn has driven a trend in industry to develop and adopt new methods of working, and new techniques to analyze chemical reactions. Read more »
