When used as biocatalysts, enzymes accelerate many chemical reactions. At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), researchers have now embedded enzymes in metal-organic cages (MOFs). For the first ...

(Nanowerk News) When used as biocatalysts, enzymes accelerate many chemical reactions. At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), researchers have now embedded enzymes in metal-organic frameworks ...

Liquid-metal machines could wipe out maintenance issues for continuous flow reactors. Metals that are liquid at room temperature, such as gallium and its alloys, are attractive materials due to their ...

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 ...

A photo of technicians working in front of a process train. Novartis's continuous manufacturing center in Basel, Switzerland, replicates an end-to-end manufacturing process developed at the ...

Uniqsis reports how chemists at the School of Pharmacy, University College London (UK) have been using a FlowSyn™ continuous flow reactor system. Flow chemistry is an ideal approach to chemical ...

A modern pharmaceutical manufacturing plant looks a lot like a classical chemistry lab. As has been the case for more than a century, most drugs that come out of these factories are made via stepwise ...

The behavior of two or more CSTRs operating in sequence as a cascade can resemble that of a plug flow reactor (PFR). In contrast to a batch reactor, this allows for continuous flow reactions with ...
