Inaugural Radleys Lara and Coflux one-day symposium will provide a forum for researchers in pharmaceutical and chemical process development with an interest in enthalpy measurement
In response to considerable marketplace demand, the inaugural Radleys Lara and Coflux one-day symposium will provide a forum for researchers in pharmaceutical and chemical process development with an interest in enthalpy measurement for studying process safety, crystallisation, ratios of scale-up, phase changes and combining automated process analytical techniques such as turbidity, NIR and GC.
Taking place on 3 October 2006 (9am - 4pm) at the Duxford Air Museum (Duxford, UK) the symposium is for users of Lara controlled laboratory reactor and Coflux calorimetry systems and those interested to learn how this innovative equipment is being implemented to save time, space and perform chemistry more efficiently.
A varied program of talks, question and answer forum and hands-on equipment sessions will be delivered by in-house personnel and invited industry speakers with a variety of in-depth experience in process optimisation using Lara and Coflux.
Topics to be covered in the symposium will include case studies in process development and process safety, how enthalpy measurements are being used to provide real-time monitoring of changes in reactors, optimising contract manufacturing, optimising scale-up of chemical processes, space utilisation and ergonomics in the process laboratory and new developments in separation and purification techniques.
The Lara controlled laboratory reactor (CLR) is a flexible and modular chemical reactor that is both affordable and highly automated.
Offering a choice of hardware and software components specifically designed to provide ease-of-use, time-savings, comprehensive data logging and reliability the Lara CLR has been adopted as a process automation tool of choice by a rapidly growing number of pharmaceutical and chemical companies worldwide.
The Coflux module extends the capabilities of the Lara CLR system to provide real-time information on power and enthalpy readings without relying on time-consuming baseline calibrations.
The system not only accurately produces heat of reaction and maximum heat flow data needed for hazard assessment to scale-up a process to pilot plants or production units but also generates the information for process monitoring, analysis and optimisation.
