Intelligent Sensor Management in Chemical Industries

Determining the absolute configuration of small molecules is important early in the drug discovery process. The traditional methodology, X-ray analysis, requires a single crystal. Unfortunately, crystallisation of early-stage molecules can be problematic and time consuming.

Performing hazard analyses are critical to safe operation in any chemically based operation or experiment. Often, engineers are approached with proposals for chemicals that have not been used in a company or research group previously. One ready reference to begin a hazard analysis is the careful review of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the chemical of interest. Surprisingly, the terms used in a MSDS are not fully understood. This webinar focuses on MSDS terms related to physical properties, flammability, and toxicity, explaining their definitions. Further, the webinar covers how to incorporate these data into any hazard analysis.

Our speaker, Mike RASENBERG, Head of Unit for Computational Assessment and Dissemination at the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), will explain how the ECHA support scientists and product development leaders to leverage the wealth of information generated around REACH to accelerate innovation. He’ll be discussing both the data and the tools that benefit innovation leaders. What type of data and tools can be used to accelerate innovation. How this data and these tools can be used in sustainable product development.
