One-Day Course:
Tuesday, Nov. 19; 8:30am – 5:00pm
Dr. James Rydzak, Specere Consulting, Old Bridge, NJ
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Process analytical technology (PAT) is a tool for product development, scale up and manufacturing of any chemical product. In this course, you will learn about the benefits of in-process monitoring, how to justify and plan the analysis implementation. Different process analytical tools will be discussed, how to implement them and how to choose between them for your application. How to use PAT to save time and money, improve your green scores, become proficient at PAT, an overview of chemometrics and how various chemometric tools are used along with a section on method development will be discussed. Applications, from various industries will be used to explain concepts and provide examples of implementation including how PAT enables green chemistry principles.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is suited for managers, analytical chemist, quality control staff, engineers and those who want to implement process analytical measurements. It is suited for R&D, Pilot plant and manufacturing chemists and engineers.
