Computational insights into mixing: How process engineers are leveraging simulation in multiphase systems
Mixing in a multiphase system, especially in a scale-up environment, can prove to be an uphill task. A thorough understanding of mixing patterns is crucial as it enables the optimization of process parameters, reactor design, and operational conditions. It also aids in controlling phase separations and preventing undesirable side reactions. Process engineers are leveraging simulation […]

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine: Decoding Pharmaceutical Developability Assessment of NCEs
The developability assessment of new chemical entities (NCEs) is a crucial step in the drug discovery and development cycle. It involves an evaluation of a potential lead candidate’s/compound’s chances of becoming a clinical drug candidate at an early phase. The goal is to characterize the clinical drug candidate, identify, and address any potential challenges that […]
