Getting started with the PolyBLOCK
After recently starting at H.E.L, I’ve spent a lot of time getting familiar with the PolyBLOCK parallel reaction system. As well as a stand-alone system, the PolyBLOCK is a core component of many of the systems H.E.L supplies. I thought I’d share my observations about the PolyBLOCK and some facts you ...
Thinking Big: can Superstructures give medicine fresh hope
The SuperStructures Lab at the University of Trieste is seeking out smart, nano-structured, water-based, environmentally friendly biomaterials to create innovative therapeutic solutions for some of today's greatest areas of medical interest. We are delighted that Dr. Silvia Marchesan, Associate Professor at the university, has taken us on a virtual ...
Exploring the pitfalls of Flow Chemistry – industry and academic insight
Recently, H.E.L invited four specialist flow chemistry practitioners to speak at an online symposium on the topic. After the speakers had shared their research and experiences and answered questions from delegates, we took the opportunity to ask some questions of our own. Here, our speakers share their own 'pain ...
Batch Versus Flow in Pharma: The upsides of continuous chemistry
Does today's take-up of flow chemistry in fields such as photochemistry, electrochemistry, and hazardous gas usage mean that the days are numbered for parallel batch reactor testing? We've been talking to leading experts in flow catalysis in pharmaceutical companies to determine how they address this topic. Batch and Flow ...
Top Tips for Getting the Best From Your Vent Sizing Calculations
We are often asked what testing and data are needed to carry out vent sizing calculations. While each situation requires unique consideration, I thought it would be helpful to outline my typical approach. I'll also shortly publish a companion article detailing why low-phi-factor adiabatic calorimetry is an ideal technique ...
“Believe in yourself!” Reflections from women in science, in 2021
To mark the UN’s International Women and Girls in Science Day, some of H.E.L’s women in science share their insights of working in science and their own career experiences. Our contributors were: Aliko Chanda, Application Scientist Cathryn Langley, Product Manager (and author) Louise Madden, CEO Kathy Nguyen, Account Manager, West ...
