Faster Crystallization Optimization and Troubleshooting with Process Analytical Technology (PAT)

Scale-up of Batch Crystallization Using Process Analytical TechnologyThe latest whitepaper - A Guide to Scale-up of Batch Crystallization from Lab to Plantfeatures case studies examining the use of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) for real-time monitoring of crystallization. The paper focuses on the optimization of crystallization performance, tracking critical process parameters and designing robust, scalable processes.

Scale-up of a crystalliza­tion process is notoriously complicated and companies are under pressure to develop scalable crystallization processes faster, at lower costs and with higher quality.  Companies must control crystallization conditions to improve cycle times and optimize product quality. With the incorporation of Process Analytical Technology (PAT), real-time monitoring of crystallization can be achieved without pulling samples.  In situ Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools can track critical parameters such as the crystal size and shape, the crystal form, and even the level of supersaturation.
