Single-use technologies have important advantages in terms of flexibility, scalability, and they have largely eliminated purity concerns. However, stainless steel is often still advantageous if custom designs are necessary or if batch sizes are very large (capacity can be up to 10x higher than SUBs).

Redundancy in bioreactor systems can be built to enhance the reliability and availability when the uptime is crucial. This redundancy in bioreactor systems leads to more uninterrupted hours to development and production of biologics; and when issues inevitably appear, redundant systems are able to compensate with minimal disruption to the process. Find out more about redundancy in bioreactor systems.

The measurement of ammonia is vital in applications such as wastewater, where the wastewater treatment plants are required to provide a laboratory measurement of ammonia concentration. The ammonia gas-sensing ion selective electrode (ISE) is an EPA approved method of determining ammonia concentration for compliance reporting. Learn more about Calibration and Measurement for Ammonia ISE in the lab.

Chemists are searching for new approaches to increase the quality of polystyrene production, from increasing efficiency to lowering costs and waste, and continuous flow polymerization may well be the solution. Moving to small tubes and glass microreactor chips instead of switching to a larger-scale bulk process to increase efficiency may seem counter-intuitive, but the additional control that researchers are gaining with lab scale flow chemistry equipment offers a convincing reason to change your mind about scale up.

Continuous Flow Biocatalysis is quickly gaining traction among chemists, with applications in the production of fine chemicals, drugs, biotherapeutics, and biofuels to name a few. This is reflected in the increased knowledge of these techniques in industry and academia, as well as the implementation of flow techniques in modern laboratories. So, why should you perform continuous flow biocatalysis?

Organic synthesis has been the main priority of all studies carried out on flow chemistry equipment, and the benefits and reasons to perform flow chemistry are now well known and recorded. It is worth noting that these advantages can also be extended to other fields such as biofuels, petrochemistry, and nanoparticle synthesis.

Even though electrochemistry offers tremendous benefits to synthetic organic chemists, it is rarely used in modern labs because of the lack of suitable equipment that enables non-electrochemists to perform this chemistry in a ‘convenient’ manner. Therefore, chemists will need an easier, more user-friendly way to access this technique for it to become more widely accepted as a routine procedure.
