REACH 2018: Last Mile of Data Sharing Negotiations

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.

Recent regulations such as the 2016 amended Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and regulatory agencies such as the European Union (EU) have begun to encourage alternatives to animal testing to assess chemical hazards. These efforts aim to replace animal tests with reliable and validated non-animal methods. This webinar series will highlight the regulatory landscape of toxicity testing requirements and acceptance of animal testing alternatives for industrial chemicals with a specific focus on the 2016 update to TSCA. It will showcase novel and emerging non-animal hazard evaluation strategies for compliance under such regulations such as read-across, high throughput assays, and quantitative structural-activity relationships.

Data-informed insights uncover new opportunities to increase efficiency across business and operations. In the chemical industry, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the key to implementing smarter solutions. Watch our on-demand webcast for a uniquely interactive experience to learn how to unleash the data, assess new opportunities, and unlock customer advantage.

Nanocellulose is an interesting material with unique properties and chemistry. Cellulose, the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, is the most abundant organic material on the planet and because of its useful materials properties it is one of the most widely used substances.
