Mettler Toledo says its innovative in-situ instruments will help characterise particle systems, optimise parameters, and develop robust processes - in the lab, scale-up, or production
By viewing particle data in real time, you can see exactly what's happening, during your process - allowing you to fully understand your particle behaviour.
Identification of important process dynamics means you can optimise process parameters, improving efficiency and reducing manufacturing times.
Mettler Toledo says its technology ensures consistent data throughout the life of a process.
At the process development stage its tools will help you understand and optimise parameters.
Knowing how and when crystals are formed and grow through characterisation experiments is vital to downstream processing operations, such as filtration and drying.
Formulation processes such as milling and granulation can be characterised and optimised.
During full scale manufacture its instruments are ideal for control purposes - you can communicate particle size parameters directly to your plant control system.
What's more, continuous in-situ monitoring provides data on how particles interact in their natural process environment, eliminating the need for time-consuming and unreliable off-line sampling.
MT's FBRM instruments provide information on particle size, shape and number while PVM technology allows direct particle visualisation, providing unsurpassed qualitative understanding of particle change and structure.
In addition its automated laboratory reactors enable process parameters to be accurately controlled and optimised.
