Continuous Flow Chemistry for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Although the chemical industry has used continuous flow process plants for years, it is relatively new to the pharmaceutical industry. With skyrocketing costs for batch small molecule pharmaceutical plants reaching over $1,000 per square foot1. Continuous Flow Chemistry provides a lower installed cost alternative. Besides installed cost there are many other benefits as you … [Read more...]
