Abstract:
Fluid sensor methods and systems adapted for monitoring and/or controlling distillation operations in fluidic systems, such as batch distillation operations or continuous distillation operations, are disclosed. Preferred embodiments are directed to process monitoring and/or process control for unit operations involving endpoint determination of a distillation, for example, as applied to a liquid-component-switching operation (e.g., a solvent switching operation), a liquid-liquid separation operation, a solute concentration operation, a dispersed-phase concentration operation, among others.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of research for drug formulations. More particularly, this invention is directed toward an apparatus and method of performing parallel synthesis and screening of multiple drug compositions for stability and compatibility when exposed to various conditions over time, including various environmental and/or chemical conditions. In one aspect, the invention includes a method of testing for effects of a condition on a drug sample. The method includes providing an array of drug samples, simultaneously exposing a first plurality of the drug samples in the array to a first controlled condition for a period of time within an exposure period, and evaluating a plurality of the exposed drug samples at a first time and a second time using a non-destructive test in order to determine whether the condition has an affect on one or more of the drug samples over time. At least a portion of the exposure period between said first and second time, and the non-destructive test is the same each time.

Abstract:
A method for characterization of a solid material sample, including the steps of providing a liquid medium for delivering a solid material sample to a porous substrate 18, preferably in discrete regions 32. Solid sample is separated from the liquid medium by filtering through the porous substrate. Analysis such as x-ray analysis of the solid sample is conducted while the sample resides on the porous substrate.

Abstract:
The invention provides methods, apparatus, and systems for performing high-throughput preparation and screening of salts and polymporphs of drug candidates. The invention is directed towards enhancing the pre-formulation discovery process used for drug development. In particular, processes that determine suitable salts and processes that discover substantially every polymorph that can form from a particular drug candidate are provided. The processes are performed using several apparatuses that are specifically configured to carry-out various steps in a high-throughput characterization process. One such apparatus is configured for synthesizing a plurality of library members based on, for example, a library model generated by a computer system.
