Biopharmaceutical and chemical companies are under pressure to develop scalable crystallization processes faster—at lower costs and with higher quality.
Greifensee, Zurich -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/15/2011 -- METTLER TOLEDO will sponsor several 2011 AIChE Annual Meeting Separations Division (02) sessions to help companies learn to better control crystallization conditions, improve cycle times and optimize product quality. One session co-chaired by METTLER TOLEDO's Terry Redman, "PAT for Crystallization Development and Manufacturing," is currently accepting papers on Process Analytical Technologies, or PAT, for crystallization process development. Papers must be submitted by May 2, 2011.
The AIChE Annual Meeting will be held October 16-21, 2011 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis, MN. Separations Division sessions promise to deliver timely information on characterizing crystallization processes for improved results. Submitted PAT papers may include various spectroscopy (FTIR, NIR, Raman), particle size and counting techniques (FBRM, PVM), as well as other online or inline monitoring or sensing techniques. Novel approaches and methodologies to drive crystallization development are of particular interest.
Additional sessions sponsored by the METTLER TOLEDO Crystallization and Evaporation group in the Separations Division (02) include Crystallization of Pharmaceutical and Biological Molecules (Marina Tsianou and Christopher Burcham); Advances and Case Studies in Crystallization and Post-Crystallization Processing (Derek Griffin and Bruce Hook); and Particle Formulation and Crystallization Processes from Liquids, Slurries and Emulsions (Ranjit Thakur and Seth Huggins).
