Good practices to achieve consistency in process scale up Scaling up chemical reactions can present a number of challenges with respect to efficient mixing, mass transfer, controlling exothermic reactions, heat transfer and reaction kinetics.
Reaction optimisation is a key component across the pharmaceutical development cycle. From early-stage small library production to full scale manufacturing, optimising a reaction for the desired outcome can be a difficult and time-consuming exercise.
Key to solving these challenges is defining the correct input parameters, the correct product attributes, and therefore the correct tools to achieve these.
In this short webinar we will discuss these parameters and look at some customer examples to highlight the points raised and how these were addressed using the tools that Radleys was able to offer.
In this webinar we will discuss the benefits of crystallisation as a tool for product isolation, versus other common techniques.
We will look at the methods of performing crystallisations used by chemists, with examples, including cooling, anti-solvent, pH adjustment and reactive crystallisations. There will be discussion of the Meta Stable Zone (MSZ) and use of phase diagrams.
Finally, we will discuss what equipment is most effective for performing crystallisations along with some tips to improve your crystallisation processes.
Scaling up exothermic additions in the lab
Adding liquids to a reaction mixture is integral to synthetic chemistry. Scaling up from ml to L will often require changes in how these additions need to be made.
From initiating a reaction, quenching, or adding antisolvent as part of a crystallisation, we need to consider consistent and reproducible dosing.
A chemist may face issues with containment, holding temperature of feed stock, viscosity, mass and how to control highly reactive material.
Mixing of chemical reactions are often performed in two ways, magnetically or with mechanical agitation.
The key to good mixing is understanding the following parameters:
Reagent & solvent properties
Reactor design & geometry
Agitator design & geometry
Mixing pattern
It is often necessary for chemists to perform reactions at temperatures close to or below 0°C. In this webinar we will explore the theory of low temperature reactions (thermodynamics vs kinetics), the types of reactions that require cold temperatures and the challenges that chemists face when attempting to maintain low temperatures during reactions.
We also discuss some tips on maximising the performance of cold reactions versus the traditional methods as well as some considerations when scaling up.
Chemistry labs are amongst the most intensive consumers of energy and water. In this webinar, we look at where these resources are being used in university labs and identify areas that can be affected by individual scientists and groups. Water-cooled condensers and heating equipment are some of the worst culprits, so we discuss the issues and look at some improvements and alternatives that can be used to dramatically cut water and energy waste.
The discussion is driven by data from ourselves, universities, and non-profit environmental groups.
