Customized Solutions for the Manufacturing of Fine Chemicals and APIs

Many complex and multi-stage API syntheses involve transformations for which batch processing has significant limitations in terms of safety, quality, yield and/or feasibility. Even at moderate manufacturing scales, which are typical for the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, the continuous processing benefits become more obvious for pharmaceutical companies, API manufacturers and regulatory authorities. This webinar will examine the benefits and advantages of using continuous processing for the manufacturing of fine chemicals and APIs, illustrated by industrial case studies.
Presentation 1: "Flow Chemistry - Concepts and Tools" by Dr. Patrick Löb Continuous processing is playing an increasing role in the development and manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). This presentation specifically outlines concepts and tools of flow chemistry based on milli- and microstructure reactors. Benefit topics - improved process controls, the accessibility of novel process windows, straightforward scale-up, and operational advantages - are discussed and illustrated by selected application examples. Challenges such as the handling of solids are addressed.
