With the aim of making micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) even more powerful in the future, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) in Aachen have developed a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — International process systems and operation experts have launched high-tech startup Crystallization Systems Technology Inc. (CrySyst) to streamline processes used by companies ...

Remember that old high school chemistry experiment where salt crystals precipitate out of a saltwater solution – or maybe the one where rock candy crystals form from sugar water? It turns out that ...

Pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality control processes are stuck in the past. Process Analytical Technology (PAT) can bring production systems up-to-date and help realize manufacturing efficiency ...

The authors discuss the preparation of lipophilic drug nanocrystals by controlled crystallization during freeze-drying. Modern drug-discovery techniques are rapidly increasing the number of lipophilic ...
