Technology Platform
Our advanced high-throughput R&D technology allows us to develop new and improved products and processes in a more rapid and cost-effective way at a superior rate of success compared to conventional research. The key principles of high-throughput R&D are parallelization, automation and miniaturization. The ability to conduct a much larger number of experiments increases the learning about the systems under investigationan increases the chance of finding novel products and processes. This is of particular relevance for complex and unpredictable areas of chemical sciences, such as catalysis and crystallization.
We differentiate from other companies in the high-throughput R&D industry by our rational approach towards R&D. Our rational approach is based on internally and externally developed software for experimental design, structure-property and response-surface models, as well as kinetic modelling to target the most relevant experimental conditions and to analyze data to extract valuable conclusions from the large data sets that our high-throughput technology generates. This approach can be utilized for several R&D applications that require repetitive screening of a large number of parameters. We have focused on applications in catalysis research and crystal form identification. By using our unique, rational approach, we have the capacity to accomplish innovations at a superior rate of success. In addition, our proprietary hardware for catalysis research allows us to test new catalytic materials under industrial pressure and temperature ranges with industrial product streams, mimicking industrial plant conditions and reducing scale-up effects. Our experience and understanding of the challenges inherent to developing advanced high-performance products and processes for commercial markets enables us to minimize the risk, time and cost of development, while maximizing R&D productivity.
