Overview of Chemical Process Safety - A Work Process Perspective

Despite the promise of target-based drug discovery ushered in by the genomics era, no mechanistically novel rationally designed antibiotic has reached clinically utility to address the threat of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens. Phenotypic screening remains the primary source for new antibacterial compounds, which mainly come from mining various chemical libraries. In this webinar, Carl Balibar (Merck Research Laboratories) discussed screen design, target bias, and hit-prioritization strategies to identify those entities with the greatest opportunity to be developed into the next new antibiotic.

For most labs the main equipment responsible for proper ventilation is the chemical fume hood. This webinar will cover the design of major types of chemical fume hoods, their features, and functions. The program will cover key differences between hood types and how to properly set up and adjust them to maintain efficient flows and optimum performance. This presentation will focus on the important basic aspects of proper operation and use of fume hoods. OSHA standards and other applicable guidelines and regulations will be covered, including NFPA.

Have you ever been at the lab bench mindlessly performing a repetitive task, wondering if a robot would be better placed for the job? Despite many industries having utilised full automation of workflows for decades, the use of robots in chemistry laboratories is a relatively new domain.

This talk will focus on how to introduce CO2 electrolysis into established industries and allow for their full-scale decarbonization. and allow for their full-scale decarbonization.
