Do you want to learn how to increase your productivity to make the most of your resources?
In today's marketplace, there is an unprecedented level of pressure on companies' resources. Increasingly, chemists are being challenged to produce results on ever-tightening budgets and deadlines. New process analytical technologies can play a pivotal role in achieving real process understanding and enhanced manufacturing performance.
Therefore, it has never been more crucial to know about and understand what new technologies and tools are available. They can help you to streamline your implementation processes and improve your company's operational efficiency.
Learn about the latest tools and techniques at the ONLY PAT conference dedicated to organic synthesis, process chemistry and API production.
Our 5th international Process Analytical Technologies in Organic Process R&D Conference focuses on the science and technology associated with the synthesis and manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients. This makes it different from other PAT events, which are predominantly formulation focused.
We have invited experts from all over the world to discuss their latest progress and effective strategies for PAT implementation. They will present case studies and examples of some of the pitfalls and how they can be overcome.
They will also showcase how PAT can be used as a tool for increasing process understanding, robutstness, reproducibility and efficiency, both in development and commercial production.
