We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Process Development",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Flexibility in supercritical fluid extraction from
Supercritical Fluid Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "The entirely new, mid-scale SFT-2000 supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) system has been designed for the demanding needs of the research chemist and process
engineer".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Heater shaker is compact and flexible from
Radleys: "Offering heating and shaking in a single compact unit the Metz heater shaker fits easily onto any bench or into any fumehood".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Paraytec
concerning its ActiPix D100
- take a look at Analytical instrumentation to detect aggregation
which says: "UK consortium of Avecia, Intertek ASG, Lonza, Paraytec and the University of Bradford awarded grants by the Technology Strategy Board and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)".
Take a look also at the news release from Tecan Group, Automated parallel chromatography for bioprocesses,
as well as Faster pharma development may be a dead-end from Syrris,
and Easier determination of cell cycle phases from Guava Technologies.
