Free Video Series Explores Crystallization's Benefits

Aug. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- METTLER TOLEDO is pleased to announce the availability of four new videos on crystallization. Each brief video helps prospective users visualize the benefits of using Process Analytical Technology (PAT) to improve crystallization for enhanced control of critical process parameters. This enhanced control in turn helps users improve yield, increase purity and shorten cycle times for faster process scaling and lowered manufacturing costs.

The first video, "Understand Your Crystallization Process," explores the use of PVM, a particle vision and measurement tool, to identify solvent and seeding parameters to produce desired crystal morphology.

The second video, "Transfer Your Crystallization Process," shows how FBRM helps pharmaceutical and chemical engineers eliminate batch failure through thorough description of batch processing to enhance the scaling of experiments.

In video three, "Optimizing Your Crystallization Process," two real-world examples reveal how combining both PVM and FBRM helped researchers in academia and manufacturing produce repeatable crystallization with faster cycle times and improved yield.

Video four, "The Crystallization Workstation," shows how a robust combination of PAT technologies including PVM, FBRM and ReactIR can powerfully characterize crystallization processes inline, resulting in fewer experiments, easier scaling, and reduced costs.

Free crystallization white papers and on-demand webinars are also available. To view one or all of these free crystallization videos, or to access other informative, on-demand crystallization materials, please visit: http://www.mt.com/crystallization?crel=ePR_PP_EN.
