All process chemistry ultimately comes down to the understanding and control of relative reaction rates…reactions that you want to happen in favor of those you don’t. We are proficient in designing and carrying out chemical kinetic studies to optimize or troubleshoot processes using tools and expertise that is rare to find outside of big Pharma R&D functions.
Kinetic studies that we carry out are commonly performed to:
- understand reaction pathways, dynamics and mechanisms
- create predictive kinetic models for scaleup (following Quality by Design principles)
- understand catalysts and sources of catalyst poisoning
- Measure trajectory for the controlled destruction of highly toxic or genotoxic impurities
We are experienced users of DynoChem software, and possess the expertise to create predictive kinetic models of even complex processes.
As more and more drug products transition to generic, process intensification is becoming of interest for reducing API cost-of-goods and gaining a competitive edge. We also have the equipment and knowledge to help your company develop cost-effective process technology based upon flow chemistry.
