Sustainable laboratory practices are essential for safeguarding our environment, any future funding or support of laboratories, as well as improving the quality of our work. In this blog post, we
Solvent evaporation occurs routinely in nature when water gains energy, often as heat, and transitions from a liquid state into a gaseous one. Thermal molecular agitation is what underlies this
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
Synthesizing target molecules for biological applications such as drug development or modern organic synthesis applications involves researching the feasibility of complex catalyst synthesis pathways
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
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
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.
Find out why people thought they were finding glass in their Creme Eggs and how chemistry engineers save the day!
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
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.
