Researchers at the University of Liège (BE) have designed a high-performance, open-access continuous flow process to safely produce key antibacterial drugs from bio-based furfural. The results of the ...

Researchers have developed a pioneering, sustainable method for producing cadmium-based quantum dots (QDs) in water using a biocompatible chalcogen source. This fully aqueous, continuous flow process ...

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 ...

People have recognized the promise of continuous manufacturing processes ever since Henry Ford’s auto assembly line kicked into action. Even so, pharmaceuticals are still made in batches. Proponents ...

As the industry moves toward continuous bioprocessing, more effective ways are being developed to validate viral clearance. Researchers at Asahi Kasei Bioprocess America have developed a small-scale ...

Hybrid manufacturing technique. 9T Labs has developed a hybrid manufacturing technique using its Additive Fusion Technology (AFT), positioning continuous fiber preforms in high-stress regions of a ...

The spate of drug patent expirations known as the patent cliff is sharpening minds. Pharmaceutical companies have been looking under every rock to save money, and one idea they have found is ...

I'm always interested in how "new" ideas for business improvement come about and whether they are really original and new. For example, today there is the widespread application of lean manufacturing ...
