Industrial Scientists can no longer afford to experiment in a trial-and-error manner, changing one factor at a time. A far more effective method is to apply a systematic approach to experimentation that considers all factors simultaneously.
This approach is called Design of Experiments (DoE) and many scientists use it as an efficient way to solve serious problems afflicting their projects.
DoE provides information about the interaction of factors and the way the total system works, something not obtainable through traditional testing methods. DoE also shows how interconnected factors respond over a wide range of values, without requiring the testing of all possible values directly. DoE is a fundamental aspect of Quality by Design.
This now four session course written and presented by Dr Paul Murray a Process Chemist with extensive experience of applying DoE across a wide range of chemical reactions from reaction screening and new route development through to reaction optimisation.
The Course will empower Scientists to implement DoE in their work to more efficiently improve their processes.

- Understand the DoE process.
- Select process factors and suitable ranges.
- Understand the different types of experimental design and when to use them.
- Identify main effects, interactions and interpret DoE models in relation to chemical understanding.
- Understand where DoE will solve a problem and when to consider complementary techniques like reaction progress kinetics to probe more challenging processes.

Testimonials
Online DoE Delegate 2022
This course covers from the basics to the practical aspects of DoE in chemistry. After the course, I cannot believe I did not use the DoE for my daily work!
Design of Experiments Online
The course is a must-have for chemists to optimize and to better understand their processes.
Design of Experiments Online Delegate
The course was great. Paul explained the topics very well with examples that helped to understand them better.
Online Design of Experiments Delegate
On-line course well defended. Good point to start from with DoE.
