Lubrizol's Efficient Scale-Up & Process Control
This webinar focuses on how to improve process development and scale-up by leveraging calorimetry and in situ process analysis. In order to provide the best possible customer service, Lubrizol redefined traditional process development to reduce the time and complexity of new product development, and scale-up/scale-down optimization.
Understanding Scale-up Risks in Early-Stage Process Development
A best practice during process development involves understanding safety risks associated with a chemical reaction. The earlier that non-scalable conditions are recognized, the more easily a process can be modified with improvements for safety. This webinar discusses new techniques that allow chemists and engineers to develop safe and scalable processes in the chemistry lab at the milliliter scale.
Reaction Calorimeters
Reaction calorimeters measure the amount of energy released or absorbed by a chemical or physical reaction in chemical and pharmaceutical development.
