Chemical Development and Scale Up

We spoke to chemists at different stages of their careers about their experiences of attending our ‘Chemical Development and Scale Up in the Fine Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries’ training course. Ben Littler  Ben told us that he had taken the ‘Chem Dev’ course twice as an early career process chemist!  Both courses were held as

How do you Safely Scale up a Given Chemical Reaction?

If you are working in industry and are responsible for safety, how do you safely scale up a given chemical reaction? How do you tackle issues like heat transfer, gas release, exposure control, waste stream issues and more? The core of any process safety study is a correct description of both heat and gas release

Impurities – How Do You Combat Those Elusive Threats?

Many organic impurities, such as nitrosamines, are known to be harmful to human health. Therefore, regulatory bodies and government set strict limits to protect us all. Even in small quantities, pharmaceutical impurities can have serious negative health impacts and influence the behaviour and efficacy of a drug. Organic impurities fall into a number of categories.

The Golden Age of Travel

What an experience to treasure! Claire and Hannah from Scientific Update Ltd were invited to travel on the beautiful British Pullman last week, for a specially hosted event ‘Golden Age of Travel with The Netherlands’. Passengers were encouraged to dress up in 1920’s costume and it certainly was a rather glamorous and special occasion. Everyone enjoyed fine

Young Chemist Award 2022 – Deadline to enter is 23 September
