SUMMARY:Webinar: Optimising N-Diazeniumdiolate Nitric Oxide Donors Using Parallel Pressure Chemistry with ChemSCAN
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE MY FREE PLACEFree Live Webinar\nOptimising N-Diazeniumdiolate Nitric Oxide Donors Using Parallel Pressure Chemistry with ChemSCAN\nJune 23rd 2026 | 2pm UTC \n(3 pm UK\, 10 am Eastern US\, 7 am Pacific US\, 4 pm Central Europe\, 7:30 pm India) \nNitric oxide-releasing materials have strong potential across biomedical\, antimicrobial and drug delivery research. But developing these materials is not just a case of maximizing nitric oxide donor formation. \nThe real challenge is more balanced. \nResearchers need to increase N-diazeniumdiolate nitric oxide donor loading while preserving the integrity\, function and bioactivity of sensitive polymeric biomaterial scaffolds. \nThis live webinar\, hosted by H.E.L in collaboration with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, will explore how parallel pressure chemistry can support this type of reaction optimisation. \nThe session will focus on how researchers used H.E.L ChemSCAN to screen reaction variables under controlled pressure conditions. It will also discuss why the highest nitric oxide donor loading does not always lead to the best final material. \nAbout the Webinar\nN-diazeniumdiolate nitric oxide donors are widely studied for their ability to release nitric oxide under controlled conditions. This makes them valuable in areas such as antimicrobial materials\, wound healing\, medical devices and other biomedical applications. \nHowever\, the chemistry can be difficult to control. \nIncreasing nitric oxide donor formation may improve release potential\, but it can also place stress on the polymeric scaffold. If the reaction conditions are too harsh\, the scaffold may lose mechanical strength\, structure\, function or biological value. \nThis creates a practical research problem. \nHow do you improve nitric oxide donor loading without compromising the material that needs to carry and deliver it? \nThis webinar will examine that question through the lens of parallel pressure chemistry. Attendees will gain insight into how pressure\, reaction time\, temperature\, solvent systems and base concentration can influence N-diazeniumdiolate formation. \nThe session will also show how controlled pressure screening can help researchers compare reaction conditions more efficiently and make better decisions during material development. \nWhy This Topic Matters\nIn nitric oxide-releasing biomaterials\, more is not always better. \nA material with high NO donor loading may appear successful at first. But if the scaffold has been damaged during synthesis\, the final material may not perform as required. \nFor researchers\, this means reaction optimisation must consider both chemical output and material preservation. \nThis is where parallel pressure chemistry can offer value. By allowing multiple reaction conditions to be screened under controlled pressure\, researchers can compare outcomes more clearly. This helps identify conditions that support NO donor formation while reducing unwanted scaffold degradation. \nThe webinar will provide a practical view of this approach and how it was applied using H.E.L ChemSCAN. \nRESERVE MY FREE PLACEWhat You Will Learn\nAttendees will gain a practical view of how parallel pressure chemistry can support nitric oxide donor development. \nThe webinar will cover: \n\nHow nitric oxide pressure affects N-diazeniumdiolate formation\nWhy scaffold preservation matters in NO-releasing biomaterials\nHow reaction time can affect donor loading and material stability\nHow temperature can influence reaction outcomes\nHow solvent systems and base concentration can change final material performance\nHow parallel pressure chemistry helps compare reaction conditions more efficiently\nHow H.E.L ChemSCAN supports controlled pressure reaction screening\nWhy the highest NO donor loading may not always produce the best final material\n\nKey Themes\nBalancing Donor Loading and Scaffold Integrity\nThe session will explore why optimisation must go beyond maximising NO donor formation. Preserving the scaffold is essential if the final material is expected to retain its intended function. \nControlled Pressure Screening\nAttendees will learn how controlled pressure conditions can help researchers study nitric oxide donor formation in a more structured and efficient way. \nParallel Reaction Comparison\nThe webinar will show how parallel screening can reduce trial-and-error work by allowing different variables to be compared under controlled conditions. \nPractical Research Insight\nThe session will focus on real research use\, not just theory. It will show how ChemSCAN was used to support reaction screening and material development decisions. \nWebinar Date and Time\nJune 23rd 2026 | 2pm UTC \n3pm UK\n10am Eastern US\n7am Pacific US\n4pm Central Europe\n7:30pm India \nReserve Your Free Place\nJoin H.E.L and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for this free live webinar. \nReserve your free place today to learn how parallel pressure chemistry can support the optimisation of N-diazeniumdiolate nitric oxide donors while helping preserve sensitive biomaterial scaffolds. \nRESERVE MY FREE PLACEFeatured SpeakersMaggie Purvis\nSchoenfisch Laboratory\nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \nMaggie’s doctoral work focused on the development of nitric oxide-releasing materials for biomedical applications.
